“Of course, this pretty much explains why Maryland has been an economic basket-case for years.”

Perhaps Alberta's Child is referring to the fact that when you severely injure someone in a car accident, their hospital bill will commonly be coming out of your pocket or your insurer's.

Does anyone know what the circumstances of the car accident were?

A substantial portion of the population in the whole region known as Northern Virginia is made up of productive citizens who have fled Maryland over the last couple of decades.

And didn't we read a story here just this week about how the state government in Annapolis was looking for tax hikes to close a huge budget deficit?
