This pieces is pretty dumb. Is Mark Uncapher in middle school? It is logical that improving neighborhoods can impact crimes. Make neighborhoods better looking. people care more about it, property values go up as does air quality. His apparently limited experience in community development is showing. Lierman is young and smart, works hard and will do well. As for the activities of the Comptroller, does he not recall Schaefer redfining the position into a bully pulpit? the Icc fight? clucking at Glendenning? arguing about the fountain? Franchot hands out Comptroller coins for some reason while his office refunded money to the wrong counties. The legislature voted for those trees because MD is staring climate change in the face which impacts the State's economy & balance sheet. I see a well informed candidate with energy, a strong work ethic and the confidence to fulfill the duties of the office. This critique is weak ass.
