Maybe if nearly a million wasn't given away from Cordish, we have less problems. Or the millions that has been spent on the firefighter and police overtime legal cases. Or all the other suits we've paid for. Or how we've lost 30,000 manufacturing jobs the last 10 years. Or all the lost business and professional jobs. Maybe because we've created a service job economy, that explains a lot of why we're currently broke. Granted, FEMA rarely does its job in reimbursing on the bills. Look at New Orleans. But the facts are that people like Jerry running this government are most of the problem because they've mismanaged the budget. Not to mention the rest of the waste that occurs in government.
