President Eisenhower said it best when he warned America to beware of the military-industrial complex

Any Ideas?
This past Tuesday morning, the St. Mary’s County Board of County Commissioners approved the Fiscal Year 2012 Budget in three 4-1 votes.
I noted that there was not majority support for the plan that I presented three weeks ago to provide an obvious property tax cut while funding needed teaching positions but I did appreciate the second to my motion and single vote of support from Commissioner Dan Morris. Also, I noted the priorities that are established by this budget.

Political Commentary
By Kenneth C. Rossignol

Following the 4-1 vote on granting the full faith and credit of St. Mary's County residents (even those who do not contract water and/or sewer services) to construction of new MetCom infrastructure, I have had many calls of gratitude for my lone vote of opposition.  However, there has been a central question common to each call.

Why did not any of the newly elected Republican officials stand with me to hold the Director of MetCom accountable to the same St. Mary's County Ethics Ordinance that we must abide by?

I do not know that answer. 

Todd Morgan, a frequent contributor to Democrats, is the GOP nominee for St. Mary's Commissioner in the Lexington Park / California district.
