Elected leaders must realize we are One Maryland
To the editor:
I genuinely hope that our current local elected state representatives move on to more productive activities than continuing to promote the irresponsible notion that there is an urban war on rural Maryland. Frankly, it saddened me that Del. Serafini’s state pension presentation was pushed aside by his colleagues, who should know that the state pension issues do need addressed.

We are One Maryland!

I feel lawmakers need to get tougher on some laws in this country, especially when someone takes the life of a child.
My daughter’s best friend, who moved away from Hagers-town this summer, was killed just before Christmas in Indiana. My daughter and the family are coping with the tragedy as best as we can. There is nothing we can do to bring back this little girl, but we can try to make sure that justice is served.
I am planning a bike ride to honor this girl and other children who died similar deaths.
