You're Up: Marylanders Take a Swing at Shrinking Government
Gov. Martin O'Malley asked for ideas on how to cut hundreds of millions from Maryland's budget. What will be done with them? Officials released 351 pages worth of the suggestions this afternoon.
Among them:
"purchase a bankrupt hotel or motel and require all elected personnel to stay there overnight when in Annapolis" -- Worcester
"...eliminate the use of the front license plates required for automobiles" -- Baltimore
Take a look at what else is in there:
Publicity stunt or useful exercise? Somewhere in the nuanced middle? Consider flagging your favorites below in the comments.

I hate politicians, they're arrogant elitists. Nobody ever said Democracy would be easy, neat, clean, and orderly. WE need term limits on all elected officials so we can get away from professional pols who never had a real job in their life and depend on taxpayers for their livilihood.
