GMP Moves Channel 12 to Channel 95

[blacklabman]

Just read this on the somd news. So what happens to FX which is currently on channel 95? I already have my VCR to record "Rescue Me" tonight.

Channel 12 is a waste of air time. All, they have is the county commissioners figuring a way to screw us citizens, and waste more of my tax $.

Actually, County Government is currently running quite efficiently under this Board of Commissioners. Where we get screwed is in Annapolis...

We need a Welcome Center because the country extracts hundreds of thousands of dollars in lodging taxes each year from our hotel businesses. The hotel-motel tax isn't general fund money. The county enacted the tax to promote tourism and put more people into the beds where the taxes came from. The tax was created for this very purpose.

So far, we aren't paying for a Navy Museum. But again the justification is that tens of thousands visit the museum each year. A good museum will help to sell the corporate types on doing business at Pax River. Pax River is also the main tourist engine in St. Mary's County. So you want those people to see a first class museum so they return with their families, tell their friends, etc. Going back to the top, a Welcome Center would also help by guiding those same visitors from the Navy Museum to St. Mary's City, to Sotterley, to St. Clements Island, to some of our nice restaurants, etc - hopefully keeping them in St. Mary's County rather than over the bridge in Solomons.

The McKay stuff you mentioned is just a requote of some of Rossignol's foolish headlines. It's Dyson vs McKay politics, and St. Mary's Today is in bed with Dyson. There will be plenty more anti-McKay headlines over the next 15 months. But read them for entertainment value, and then seek the truth from a reliable source.

Well said! And might I add that the Navy gave us all the PLANES that are on display, as well as many other articles on display and the federal government DID kick in some funds also!
