This is pretty much my excuse. I love my kids and since I’m not campaigning, I have a lot more time to spend with them. We also just welcomed our third child into the world. Zander Jacob Chiappelli was born July 23, 2011 at 10:30am.
Major world events and minor Maryland political events keep happening.
We got Osama. Shot him and dropped him in the Ocean. Very cool.
Gaddafi is gone. Shot and dropped into an unmarked grave. Also very cool.
Natural disasters around the world seem to be striking more frequently with more tragic results. Not cool.
All levels of government are suffering from the same problem: not enough money. Neither party wants to raise taxes. Both parties differ on where they want to make cuts. As one state delegate put it, “who exactly do you want to fire?” And the economy is still not healthy so if we start firing state workers and cutting government spending, that’s like pouring gasoline on a raging fire. There are rational answers and reasonable solutions to these problems. But the voters have fired most of the adults and have left the children in charge.
I’m just a private citizen with a blog. I help my clients, pay my taxes and spend time with my family.
