Mayor Rippon Throws Down The Gauntlet
Sen. James Brochin (D-Baltimore) has introduced legislation that would stop the Blackwater Resorts development in Cambridge. Cambridge Mayor Cleveland Rippon testified against the legislation in Annapolis on Monday.
“It’s very condesending for someone in Baltimore, in their ivory tower, to say that the people in Cambridge probably don’t know what they’re doing. I’ll put this development, its stormwater management, its environmental precautions against what he’s got up there.”
The man’s got a point. What business is it of a senator from Baltimore to stop a project in Dorchestr County. Do the people of Dorchester County want the development? - WMDT-TV

Well, he may have a point ’bout Western Shore interlopers, but that development is a threat to a state and national treasure, not just to a piece of Colburn’s little fiefdom in Dorchester.
Hmm, guess that’s why it’s called Blackwater NATIONAL Wildlife Refuge.
And it protects our NATIONAL symbol, the bald eagle.
So, maybe ole Rich Colburn is really a-jockeyin’ to make the muskrat our national animal representative?
If he can’t come up with a better way to stimulate the economy there than to put that area at that kind of risk so the locals can get great jobs as caddies and busboys…
Aw, heck. I could go on, but I ain’t.
