What difference does it make? The ARMY Corp of Engineers is dumping spoilage onto Pierce Creek land with no redress. Take it or leave, right? Residents must use bottled water and wait for Cecilton to pipe potable water to them at some undetermined point in the future. It is already clear that Cecil County has become the “Bastard Stepchild” of Maryland.

County officials have already indicated that their allegence lies with the state. The concerns of our citizens have litle or no impact on their decision making process. Now that they turned this part of the country into Tier 4 land, why not add insult into injury by adding drug rehabilitation centers in land already designated as tier 4.

Clearly it is ok to selectively earmark land as developmental when it suits the benefits of the state or someone’s pockets in some back room deal somewhere. So yes, go ahead and do the dastardly deed down here in Earleville, no one will notice, since we are so far out of the perceptable eye, and off the beaten path, who is going to care anyway? Why not put the hospital in your neighborhood, Tari?

Our property values have already taken a huge dump, while we still continue to pay taxes on assessments of when the housing bubble was at its peak. No relief there either, right Tari? Some leader you turned out to be.
Next election will be different, beleive me.

Does this mean we will get Grove Neck Rd. paved if you put that [rehab hospital] out here so your elitist drug [patients] can have a clean unpock-marked road to drive on too? But you don’t have the money to pave the roads here…

You let developments build roads without proper land surveys and road design requirements. Anything goes out in the land of the sticks, right Tari?

Earleville might as well be Pidgeon Holler, Tennessee. This whole thing is a sham and all of you on the council know it. Do you have a list of other indignities that we in Earleville are going to have to suffer at your hands, or are you just happy to see us– Go, that is.

What planet is our county executive living on to say this is such a great idea? If you put 50 drug addicts, while they go through the medical detox process in a rural area that is at least 25 miles from a hospital, how do you expect the local emergency services to handle this?

So the rich addicts from other states who are staying at this place will get priority over the local taxpaying citizens who might be having a heart attack???

Seems to me that there are enough empty buildings in Elkton and Rt. 40 to keep these drug treatment places in towns where services are in abundance. There seems to be plenty of available space right next door to the county offices. So the county employees are worried about their safety by beefing up security in their building– but they don’tt consider what safety issues this will cause the residents on the south side of the canal.

Dumping which contaminated drinking water in Earleville and now drug addicts living in our little corner of the county. Hodge, why don’t you accomodate them in YOUR back-yard?
