Maryland Comptroller - State Must Rein In Spending - 03/31/11 02:09 PM
Your Distressed Property and Short Sale Expert in Maryland
Peter Franchot, State Comptroller, visited Frederick Maryland on Wednesday, presenting at the Frederick Rotary Club. Getting right to the point, he noted that Maryland is critized for high taxes, regulations, unions, and Democrats.

He said Democrats need to quit thinking of businesses as a bottomless pit to raise money for their programs, and commended Frederick … (0 comments)
