Sorry...is this the same person that went to the President elect on Saturday looking for handouts? The welfare mind set is alive and well in Maryland politics. Get ready folks. A major change of philosophy is about to hit this country. No more free lunches.
ReplyDeleteThe entitlement crown will continue to be awarded to Baltimore with the help of these new administrators.
ReplyDeleteHow many metropolitan cities can you name with corrupt, democratic led mayors and councils? Keep the people dependent on you and you get them to vote for you. It's the democratic party mantra. And those at the top live like aristocracy, where the power makes them think the rules don't apply.
ReplyDeleteSome of those salaries are not far off from what some positions in OC make.
ReplyDeleteAnd they claim Baltimore is broke and needs more money for schools and programs. Hogan needs to cut off MD tax dollars and let Baltimore pay their own expenses. Get the State out of Baltimore and move their offices to Annapolis.
