[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is it everyone else's duty in the state of Maryland to worry about Baltimore?

I'm in Calvert. I couldn't give a damn about Baltimore. As I'm sure people in Baltimore couldn't give a damn about my tiny little town. Why would they? That's dumb.  [/quote]

Because it is where a good chunk of the population is employed and a healthy Baltimore would  attract more business to Maryland, making it less dependent on the federal government for employment.[/quote]

Look at a map of Maryland.

I live in a little  no-stoplight town on the Bay called Cove Point. I work in DC. Most people here work either at NAS PAX River or other places in southern MD, or in DC. I don't know a single person who even knows anyone who works in Baltimore. You make Baltimore sound like some kind of commerce hub for the entire state.

It isn't.

It's a medium sized city with a violent crime/drug problem, awful schools, terrible property values, a struggling economy (outside of banking and healthcare) and a suffering tourist industry because of the reputation of the city.

It means nothing to me, or anyone else I know here 60 miles away
