Western Maryland leaving Maryland?

[HailSkins]

<--- wishes eastern shore would be gobbled up by Virginia

 

[Ungermc]

WMD's own state constitution, no laws infringing the 2nd Amendment, no ObamaCare, no illegal alien amnesty, etc. ...it would be nice if it could ever happen.

 

[dragonfire1911]

It would be great if central MD and DC join the North East to form it's own country.

 

[marlin.357]

Southern Maryland & the Eastern shore could be annexed by Virginia. No new state needed!

 

[ThunderStick]

Western Maryland could......

......become part of eastern West Virginia, too.

If SoMD goes, I'll move out of PG county. I'd be glad to have them move the line a mile over from AA Co at this point. I can't believe I pay the same taxes as a friend with a house that costs 2.5 times as much in Calvert Co. SMH

 

[Mooseman]

I wish it would happen. I'm ready.

 

[Mooseman]

If that happened Id move back to my ancestral homeland of Allegheny County. For now Im in PA....

Allegheny County is in Pennsylvania. Allegany County is in Maryland.

 

[sywl95]

So in theory, what's need to be done to do this?

 

[mesmithwesson]

All bordering states have to vote to approve it. That includes MD.

Allegany....Allegheny is around Pittsburgh

As a life long Garrett County boy who's family has been here since before there was a Garrett County, I do not think that at least in Garrett County we will have to worry about turning progressive anytime soon, but then again I never thought I would see Deep Creek Lake ringed by condo's and people who would complain if you were out shooting on your farm...

But I do admit I would put a lot of time and energy to make separating from Annapolis happen if it goes forward! Otherwise I have been looking at land in WV.

Im glad Carroll is in there, where would the revenue come from for the schools.

Tax assessment for rural counties wont come close to the urban counties.

 

[ShoreShooter]

If you fellows in the high country get this figured out and get some traction, we'd love to follow your lead on the Shore.

 

[RustinRifle55]

How about western MD be a business friendly state, w/lower taxes, 2A rights, right-to-work, and utmost uphold constitution. We could be like a mini Texas. I bet we would be a whole better business climate than urban MD. Business, business, business........that would pay for the lost revenue in taxes. The model MOM is using sure isn't working so maybe we in western MD could prove that a business friendly state can be sell sustaining.

 

[plinkerton]

This may be fun to think about, but keep in mind that it will never EVER happen. This has been talked about off and on for years and years and years on the Eastern Shore -- there is zero chance of it happening.

Successful people fail frequently, unsuccessful people fail once.

 

[plinkerton]

Just a tease. It would be nice and I would get involved if there was a chance of this coming to fruition

Get involved and the chance goes up by one.

When they put the stop light up at Glendale and 219, my first thought was "wtf? thank god that doesn't apply to me." But it turns out the lights to keep the tourists from hitting each other DOES apply to residents. I remember when you waved at every car that you passed, even if you didn't know the person, and they always waved back and smiled...

But seriously, FAT CHANCE at the state letting their new wind energy and shale gas reserves slip out of their greedy hands. They could care less about the people, but they care greatly about their tax dollars and kickbacks.

It would be easier to get MoCo, Baltimore City, PG County, DC, and Howard County to be a State. This allows DC to be part of a state.

My god that's a scary thought. Could you imagine this state?

 

[rwbow1969]

My god that's a scary thought. Could you imagine this state?

Yeah, I can imagine that state, it would be called "The District of Corrections."

Build a wall around it and never speak of it.

It could be where all the dumbass liberals are banished to.
