From Del. Rick Impallaria:
I’ve delayed sending updates because I was waiting for some good news. Let me start with that.
There are about 66 days left for the Maryland General Assembly legislative session for them to shaft us. This is an election year, so the voting public has the opportunity to retaliate at the polls for the over 40 taxes and fees that the O’Malley administration has thrust upon us.
We have learned that global warming, aka climate change, is caused by a condition that the Earth suffers from due to being bipolar.
The Governor is his State of the State address spoke of one of the most beautiful and wonderful places you could imagine – where everyone has a job, there has been a total rebound of the economy to where it was before its collapse in 2005, where everyone has health care, there are less people in jail than ever before, and the state budget was massively cut. I personally feel that it was one of the best speeches he ever delivered. I am very excited about living in such a place. However, we know that place is not Maryland, because we live here and know what is really happening. And as soon as we figure out the location of the place Gov. O’Malley described, I’ll let you know. Who wouldn’t want to live in such a Utopia?
Now to the bad news.
The State of Maryland has lost more that 10,000 businesses since the Governor took office. He is very proud of the fact that he has surpassed his goal for reducing energy usage and carbon pollution in the State. But when O’Malley’s head of the Public Service Commission was asked whether those energy “successes” would be affected by those 10,000 businesses returning to the State, he agreed that, if the businesses (i.e., your lost jobs) returned, the successes would be negated. To my mind, that means that they think it would be a bad thing for those jobs to return to Maryland because they would not reach their energy goals.
On the rain tax issue — We will be fighting to repeal it, but I don’t think that we will see any relief from this most outrageous tax. Please don’t believe for one second that the money will actually go to improving the Chesapeake Bay. It is being stolen and used to maneuver money around the counties and municipalities to fill up shortfalls in local government agencies.
The administration is continuing to push onto the counties and municipalities the cost of unfunded or underfunded state programs. It appears that the State, while not looking to raise taxes this year (an election year) on the state level, they intend to give counties and municipalities greater taxing authority. The number of taxing schemes is so great, there are too many to list.
Finally, it is imperative that we locate Gov. O’Malley’s Utopia, so that we can all move there and live free of the burdens that the Free State has imposed on us.

Delegate, District 7

What a joke? Rick needs to retire.
This is a laundry list of legitimate complaints. But where are his solutions? his efforts? Time for a change in the District 7 delegation. 3 terms is too many.
Having individuals like Mr. Impalaria and Mr. McDonough as my so-called “representatives” embarrasses me to no end. Is it not possible to express one’s disagreement/opposition without resorting to cynical and disparaging diatribes that drip of paranoia (shaft, retaliate, not believe for one second, taxes are being stolen, etc.). Couldn’t we have a delegate who avoids grammatical errors (“earth suffers from due to being bipolar, ” “the state…they”, “less people”) and hyperbole (Maryland has lost 10,000 businesses). Mr. Impalaria’s letter is typical of his talk, don’t listen, don’t think approach.
How is it that Harford County residents vote for persons such as Mr. Impalaria and Mr. McDonough, especially as neither lives in the county (yet seem to regard themselves as Harford’s leading members of the House of Delegates?).
Rick, you are a stupid, condescending, lying sack of s–t. No wonder the Harford County delegation always fails to “bring home the bacon”. Between you and Pat McDonnough (and the rest of the whining “Republibrats”), I’m not surprised that the huge Democratic majority in Annapolis doesn’t “smack our hands” worse than they already do!
It’s too late for you to improve your reputation, but for the sake of your constituents, please consider giving up the seat you hold, and hopefully, somebody with a little more intelligence and a LOT more common sense could represent us!
If you hate it here so much move back to Baltimore City.
I don’t want any bacon from the crooks in Annapolis because I am the one who has to pay for it you jackass.
Blow me you racist jackass. I have always lived in Harford County!
how did race get in this?
Because “WHAT” said to “move back to Baltimore City”. It implies (whether you believe it or not) that my earlier comment led “WHAT” to believe that I am black (which I am not) and that at some point I had lived in Baltimore City, but had re-located to Harford County. If I am wrong, I stand corrected (but obviously I believe that I’m correct).
I believe you are a jackass
ME TOO
Me three
me 4
What is with the fear of Baltimore City expressed by so many people who’ve moved to Harford County within the last few decades? I’ve never found much there of which to be afraid.
There you go with the bacon crap. You do realize that in order to bring home the bacon, they first have to come here and confiscate all of our bacon. If they would leave us as much bacon as we need, those useless sacks of s__t wouldn’t need to bring any home. That could just possibly leave them the time to learn what government is really there for.
Sad to see someone in his position use comments like this… Do so agree with the rain tax though and honestly since we can’t afford to live in MD much longer due to the high taxes, I am dreading the thought of trying to sell our home. Trying to explain flush taxes, that don’t repair your system when there is a problem, rain taxes that are at the very least insane and the fact that we pay for every single public service in addition to these darn taxes, is not going to be easy. Honestly, who in their right mind would move to Maryland, let alone Harford County, when the states surrounding are so much cheaper to live in. Dear Del. Rick, Instead of running your mouth uselessly here, DO SOMETHING!!!!!
For a job and the central location to a lot of culture. That’s why people move to Maryland.
Top Reasons To Move To Maryland:
#10. You have plenty of extra money to be taxed on.
#9. You have a government job that forced you to live here.
#8. Maryland is somewhat less expensive than New Jersey and New York.
#7. You are Anti-Second Amendment.
#6. You think illegals aliens are New Americans
#5. You think Baltimore City is safe.
#4. Gay marriage.
#3. You are Anti-Death penalty.
#2. You are an environmental loon who thinks rainwater should be taxed.
#1. You believe that Uncle Sugar will provide you with a job, a home and more wealth than you can spend.
You forgot, “you are a democrat who loves having a stranglehold on the politics of the state and loves seeing more and more antiquated republican ideas be squashed each year along with the childish whines and moans that come along with their disappearance.”
That’s just great! You GD snob. We here know that there is no culture in Huston, or fort Lauderdale, or Charleston, SC, or anywhere but right here. Of course having government jobs is considered in a central location. If APG were moved to the middle of Nevada, that would then be central.
I had the opportunity present in Annapolis before our Harford County Delegation and wasn’t impressed with several of our members, including Impallaria. What a do-nothing gaggle of people we elect to represent us. I think it says more about the folks in Harford County who elect these fools. Using “bipolar” to make a joke or to repeat a joke is unprofessional and immature. People diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder suffer from a devastating mental illlness. I expect better from those we elect to represent our best interests.
Let’s cut through the liberal attack dogs, none of whom have refuted Mr. Impallaria’s points
1. 10,000 less businesses then when o’malley took office.
2. Rain tax dollars spent propping up unfunded programs instead of where intended.
3. Unfunded/ underfunded programs dumped locally that the state has not been able to afford.
Mr. “Impallaria’s points” really don’t merit a response.
Rick..Rick, Rick,,.. what have you accomplished? what are you doing for the people that you “represent”? When are you going to actually look at the whole group you are supposed to serve, and realize that your ideas, ideals, thoughts are so far off that even a boy scout with a K-9 locator dog couldn’t find them. Stop the negative, stop the ” it’s all their fault” and actually accomplish something.
and while your at it, let’s hear you actually put in writing what your plan is to reduce runoff, while being fair to the farmers who have been working at it for years while big business and happy developers got a free ride.. … that is if you even have a plan, or an original idea..
How did this man get elected and then reelected when his ideas, ideals, thoughts are so far off that even a boy scout with a K-9 locater dog couldn’t find them? Are you that boy scout? If so, you need a better trained dog.
