Out of control Maryland State Highway Administration

The MD SHA is out of control

Do you know who has the real power in Maryland?  It is the MDSHA.  Forget the power of the veto, or the power of the vote.  They have the power of the chainsaw and the poorly trained chain gang of road workers.

The MDSHA has taken it upon itself to remove a row of bushes from the median strip the seperates the Rockville Pike and the Bellevue Drive service road which acts as a buffer for residents of the Locust Hill neighborhood in Bethesda.

They have clear cut these bushes, not once, but twice.  They have done this despite assurances that they would not do it a second time.  They have also thumbed their noses at both our county and state representives. 

Kids, if power is what you seek, forget about about college or law school.  Instead, go get your GED and learn how to use a chainsaw.  Once you know how to cut down trees and bushes, apparently nobody can stop you.
