I'll find my happy place when the current governor and the former governor adhere to issues and cease their juvenile sniping at one another other.

I'll find my happy place when we can eradicate the street drug thugs by legalizing certain drugs to take the profitability out of the picture (remember Mayor Schmoke)?

I'll find my happy place when city school teachers no longer have to dig into their own pockets to provide necessities for their classrooms and students.

I'll find my happy place when the Baltimore City Police Department stops spinning crime numbers and delivers real, factual data to City Hall.

I'll find my happy place when the Baltimore Orioles can turn their fortunes around and introduce a new winning tradition.

I'll find my happy place when we can rid ourselves of Sesame Street catchphrases and get back to simply enjoy life as proud Baltimoreans and Marylanders.
