| im a democrat, but sir, there is no way you can win like that... the base and the expansion has brought too much to the people of the county, you are the vast minority of people in the county, most people's well-being depends on it and the expansion which has occured... And I am sure the majority of voters in this area have dealings with the base as well...

In the 2006 Maryland General Assembly there is consideration of a bill that would mandate notification of the parents of a minor seeking an abortion. I believe this is a wrong direction for this important issue. It would make more sense to have the notification go to the police for any minor even if the parents are there, and an investigation as to who inpregnated the minor. Then if an abortion is still perfomed then take a DNA test of the fetas. If after the police communicate with the minor and the abortion is not performed then still the DNA of the baby needs to be taken at the birth. Some minors are pressured to get an abortion just as some are pressured to get pregnant so this too merits notifying the police before the procedure is done. To notify the parents without notifying the police could put the pregnant minor into a very compromised position because the parents might know who and or how the minor became pregnant and Maryland legislation needs to be concerned so the police must be the first ones notified. Therefore, I believe that the parental notification bill as it now stands is a wrong way to proceed. 911: What is your emergency? Caller: Someone broke in my house and is holding me at knifepoint!! 911: We will come out when we can, right now the police are tracking down pregnant teens!! | |

You say the base can stop growing and still exist. That proves that you have not paid attention to the political climate in DoD for the last 20 years. You are either growing or shrinking, there is no status quo. If you stop growth, you doom the base to die. I understand that you feel that growth should have stopped as soon as your family got here. I'm sure that people have felt that way since sometime in the 1630's when this area was first settled. The world is growing. Get used to it. What happens if you get your way? No more growth equals death for PAX. The first people to leave are the most highly paid. No more tax base. At least 50% of the people in the county go bankrupt and abandon the homes they cannot afford. These homes now become squatter shacks for the homeless who used to work at all of those empty businesses on 235. An accidental fire starts. Someone calls 911, but by the time the one employee the county can afford answers the phone the fire is raging. Quick, send Bay District out. Except for one problem - All of the volunteers had to leave since there are no longer any jobs. The fire spreads. Maybe Ridge. Nope, they can't afford gas since there is no longer a tax base in the county. Hollywood is down to one pumper, and it's waiting for parts. The fire spreads. Finally the feds have to move in because some uneducated convict got his way. The economy in this area before the base was here depended on two industries that are no longer profitable. You can't expect all of those unemployed to suddenly take up being watermen in an industry that already is beyond capacity. Farming has passed beyond the need for massive amounts of manual labor. It would not be economical for the remaining farmers to suddenly start paying people minimum wage to farm when their modern equipment is cheaper. But look an the bright side. The crack you are obviously smoking will be even more readily available. Good idea!
