In light of recent articles I read in your paper regarding the ongoing soap opera of corrupt politician Sheila Dixon and the recent budget cuts proposed by new Mayor Stephanie C. Rawlings-Blake, I am reminded why I moved to York, Pa. To think that a fired mayor who is a convicted felon can get an outrageous pension and, to top that off, a cushy job from one of her former crooked cronies, shows that Baltimore and Maryland will continue to rank in the top of the United States as one of the most corrupt local and state governments in our nation. How dare these arrogant individuals suggest that our hard working police and fireman take any cuts at all, while they line their pockets with taxpayer money? What a disgrace.
