Maryland has gone the way of CA, a single party (Dem) run state with no real opposition. That means lots of taxes on the middle class and poor, as well as the rich.
But we can marry the same sex partner of our choice, or get instate tuition discount rates if illegal, so we got new *freedoms* to replace the lost ones.
Many Marylanders I know are planning to leave the state. One party dominance and liberal rule have become intolerable.
