We had trailers at Thomas Stone. I kind of like them. There weren't a lot of distractions and it was more peaceful out there than inside the school.

My daughter spent her 5th grade year in a trailer and it was great. It always had heat or air conditioning, they have thier own bathrooms and the kids have to go outside and get fresh air several times a day

Please go back to school and get a GED then come back and talk to us about running for anything. Thank You

You mean you didn't read his bio? Jimbo got his GED in 1975. Voters never take the time to learn about the candidates, geesh.

Well I do believe he may want to think about another one. I am sure he dropped out before he completed school to get that one.

I think you wasted the BOE time with your attempt to prove how enlightened you are. First, if you used the internet to do research instead of horn blowing you would have discovered that most recent statistics show that Arson is in fact the #1 cause of fire in schools. Primarily in the bathroom trash cans. Fatalities are virtually non existent with 0 fatalities reported in 2002 NATIONWIDE! See for yourself here on this federal school fire report. See here --> http://www.usfa.fema.gov/downloads/pdf/tfrs/v4i6.pdf

This being said one wonders how many relocatable classrooms are in use in the USA. The answer is 220,000 relocatable structures used in school districts across the nation. See here ---> http://www.mbinet.org/web/magazine/pm02_03.html

Now as I stated before I am probably stupid, but with 220,000 portable classrooms in use nation wide, zero fatalities, few injuries, and very strict fire codes in place at all levels of government, I would have to hypothesize that there really is very very very little danger in the use of portable classrooms. One might say that you your self have a higher risk of death or injury trying to smuggle a 40oz bottle of your favorite malt liquor out of a convenience store undetected.

What we have here is you are trying to create a hot button issue to mask your true agenda which is to attempt to scare people into thinking that overcrowding is so horrible and your children are in imminent danger of being consumed in one of the many catastrophic fires currently raging this very minute in classrooms all across the ST Mary’s county. AND this serious overcrowding is caused solely by the rapid and dastardly expansion of the dreaded Navy Base which you want to see draw down and all the jobs leave because it is mucking up your beloved rural utopia.

Sorry fear monger, no sale. Growth happens, it is not all bad. What is dastardly is your thinly veiled bullshiat fear mongering regarding a non-existent threat to kids in county schools. In that respect you are a true democrat and Howard Dean might nominate you for the “Edward Kennedy - Chicken Little The sky is falling…. the sky is falling… award for exemplary fear mongering in a comedy series or special". Which is exactly what your candidacy is, a comedy.

On a side note, the fire he is knee-jerking to happened late at night, and was due to an electrical problem. Therefore, no kids were ever endangered.

Last time I checked, there was electricity in most, if not all schools in Maryland, being inside does not increase risk.

Mr. Cusick, you may think that just because your prison cell and most schools are made of block, that is the only similarity. If you had attended school, you would know that they put things like carpeting, paint, paper, furniture, cleaning supplies, chemicals, fuels, gasses, and yes, most even have books. Just as trailers can burn, buildings can burn.

Sprinklers are not the panacea you believe they are. All it takes to create a conflagration is a couple of circumstances to coincide. Sprinkler systems can fail. Fires can start in areas that are beyond the reach of sprinklers. Fires can start in crawl spaces and ventilation ducts. By the way, many of the schools here are not protected by sprinklers. The old Carver wasn't. The new Carver will be.

Likewise, the recent trailer fires happened because some circumstances coincided. An electrical malfunction and an empty trailer so nobody could hear a smoke detector. Suppose there had been a fire at the old Carver? Would the outcome have been different? Most likely. Instead of losing two trailers, they could have lost the entire school, including all of the contents.

This took me some basic research, a skill I learned in college. I understand that you would prefer to spew your opinions, but your ignorance will not get you elected.

I don't think a second one would help.

 

[Midnightrider]

Not that it has anything to do with this, but are you the guy that has restraining orders preventing you from going into certain local government buildings?

or a second one of these either for that matter

I think he has a home, but I think it's disguised as an old station wagon if this is the guy I'm thinking it might be.......

The Truth Will Set Us All Free.

I have yet to figure out his agenda...

According to the Metropolitan Regional Information Systems, as reported today in the Enterprise, the prices of median homes in Southern Maryland has risen 23 percent in this past one year. So now most homes in St. Mary's County are priced at over $300,000.

See I told you that the inflation is our enemy. It will keep going up more and it is mostly because of that Base expansion and it needs to be stopped. The inflated home prices mean first sell out and then get out.

Just remember the solution to our problem is coming soon in District 29B.

The average price went up just about as much in Montgomery county. I didn't realize the Base had expanded all the way up there as well!

What does that have to do with school fires?

James,

If you had self educated yourself in economics as you should you would realize that the increase is housing was caused by 2 specific reasons. 1. The lack of housing thus driving the demand higher and 2. Record low long term interest rates. The less it costs to borrow money the more money you can borrow, the more money you can borrow the more you can afford.

That being said, with your evident work ethic, and sense of responsibility it is clear you are sore that you have been relegated to living in a Maytag Refrigerator box in the woods off Chancellors Run Road. So now you wish the "nanny state" step in and oppress the local economy to "poor down" ST Mary's county so it matches your economic ability instead of raising your economic ability to match ST. Mary's county. Very self serving for a representative of the people.

A short term solution to your predicament might be to spray paint some of those relocatable classrooms you love with catchy phrases like CUSICK FOR PRESIDENT or CUSICK FOR EMPEROR OF ST MARY'S and my personal favorite TWO, FOUR, SIX, EIGHT I CAN NOT REHABILITATE JAIL JAIL JAIL. Be sure to sign your name and I am willing to bet the sheriff will pick you up and the Court will find you adequate quarters for a few months.

Wonderful!! I hope the housing market keeps going up!! I have a house here in St. Mary's and another rental in PG, I can triple my profits when I am ready to retire down south!! Why are you worried about it? Without a job, you cannot own a house anyway!!

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Pete again.

Once again: Do you or did you have a restraining order against entering certain State/County buildings and do you or did you used to drive around in a station wagon with posters of some kind all over it? I'm trying to figure out if you are the guy I think you are. Honest answer, pullllllllllllleaaaaaaaase.
