| Now Find The Tax Money (The salaries paid to these individuals all come from tax revenues. Tax revenues, state and local, are running approximately $1 billion short of what is necessary to pay salaries, including the raises mentioned in this article. Something has to give, the state cannot print more money and business income is not about to miraculously recover any time soon. Jobs will need to be cut and salary cuts will soon be required. It is only a matter of weeks, perhaps months before reality kicks in for these over-paid school administrators and many other state and local workers. Maybes the teachers themselves will lose their jobs. Things cannot continue as they are for much longer. -- T. Williams - Virginia Beach, VA) |
| whole foods (ive been a metro dc resident for over 20 yrs and ive never really seen anyone really do any major shopping at whole foods.most check out lines are empty and most things there are way to exotic for normal everyday use. so i really dont think it will be much of a loss to lose this tenant just as long as the space gets filled. the open air market sounds nice or even a trader joes! -- r c - towson, MD) |
| Outrageous. (Not much Leopold can do, the county council voted on more control of the school district and it went down. A very clear example how big government doesn't work. Unfortunately the people of Maryland keep blindly voting to make a non-working big government even bigger. The Obama campaign is nothing less than stunning also. Owe'Bama keeps arguing that government doesn't work, that it is broken. His solution, raise taxes and make it bigger???? The NEA, the union, is one of those big lobby groups that O'Bama said he was going to take out of Washington, that was way back when he said he wasn't taking private money. The soultion is to take TAAC "leaders" off the county payroll. Just another example how unions are out dated. If you don't believe they are, I can give you phone numbers to ten of thousands of people in Detroit who became victims of run-away unions. -- Peter D. - Annapolis, MD) |
| MSP Air Rescue (Carrying the critically injured/ill is not the medivac team's only purpose. Its detractors ignore the multitude of other Aviation program missions. Apparently someone wants to divert the special taxes collected for the MSP program to some other area of less import. Wake up, Marylanders! Your life or that of someone you love may be at stake! -- Walter B. - Lakewood, CO) |
| Good Money If...... (Great job if you can get it. No wonder the Democrat controlled Statehouse and many A.A. representatives are beholden to the NEA and vice versa. Did you think when O'Malley raised taxes "For Education" it went to towards the students/our children?
Time for that huge problem to go away. When I was in school there was a Principal, a vice, a school secretary and a nurse. Today you have ten times that number. You listening Mr. Leopold? -- Paul Flanagan - Shady Side, MD) |
