So not only is she taking your property rights away, she has the nerve to charge you more (in the form of property taxes) to live there.

Chris - first of all, I am a registered Democrat, although you probably couldn't tell that if you looked at my voting record. So, I can't even vote in this race.
You are talking about property rights, but isn't Larry Jarboe in favor of 1 in 20 zoning, which would require you to have 20 acres to build a home in St. Mary's? Unless you're in a planned development with water and sewer, Larry would want you to have 20 acres to build your home. With 1 in 5, our true ratio of buildable land is close to 1 in 20 using Aleck Lokers' numbers. This one issue, for me, is enough of a reason to vote against Larry. I don't think we need the land grabbing regulators elected to office. I think Larry's support of 1:20 was a tactical error, and on Tuesday, we'll find out.
