Speakout: Should Carroll County be Part of a New State? - Government - Westminster, MD Patch
If you think Carroll County should break away from the state of Maryland and form a new state with four other Western Maryland counties, you're not alone. In fact a Facebook page, Western Maryland: A New State Initiative, has been created to get the ball rolling.
The Western Maryland: A New State Initiative Facebook page "is for discussion on forming a new state from the five western counties of Maryland," according to the site. The proposed new state would include Garrett, Allegany, Washington, Frederick, and Carroll County.
Maybe it would be easier to just keep Western Maryland, Southern Maryland, and the Eastern Shore, and kick Baltimore, Columbia and the suburbs of DC out!
Let THEM form their own state, and we keep Maryland.
