This community continues to go further down the sewer. There is little a law abiding citizen can do but sell out and move.

Hey Joe, maybe you could do a story on those trying to get help for drug abuse in the state of Maryland. As far as I'm concerned there is none, well unless you have thousands of dollars or live off of the state. These doctors that have gotten caught prescribing too many perception pills have left many lives in ruins. Maybe instead of funding for bullshit programs and paving roads that don't need it Maryland can put their money into the people, citizens of this community that need it most.
