I'm a registered Democrat, but my personality never allows me to be comfortable with any one group. So, I'm constantly weighing the pros and cons of major issues, and usually end up straddling the fence between party lines.
I think schools and transportation are the major issues that concern most residents of Broadneck. We've all seen how the growth spreading down Route 2 has changed towns north of the peninsula.

Expect to see in-depth and consistent coverage of these issues and more from me.
