Be careful what you compromise for!
It isn't worth the ink it is written on.
If someone comes up with a way to generate more dollars for the county no matter how off the wall or crazy the county will back it AS long as its in West County!
These little picture perfect suburban towns and subdivisions are being over run severely impacted as politicians like are county executive and the council do nothing to control growth in the west while they fight it in the south part of the county.
Just look down the road at the mills mall Did anyone ever in vision a casino at a Mall next to thousands of home Some in site of it. You could park at the Harman hebron elementary school and walk to it. NO ONE in ANNAPOLIS cares one bit for the people who live in west county!
Your TIF funds will go to the benfit of those that want to visit west county the burden to those that live there!

I make a difference every single day to those able to absorb my sometimes painful-to-hear facts.

You've got an answer or comment for everything on every story in the paper. Nothing is right and everything is wrong. If you've got all the answers why don't you step up, be a man and make a difference instead of bashing everything and everyone.
Worry about Annapolis and not Odenton...
