A special education administrator in the Prince George’s public school system, she was elected to the House of Delegates in 1986 from District 25 for one term. Miller later ran unsuccessfully for the County Council and the State Senate. She was first appointed as a WSSC commissioner in 1996 by former Prince George’s County Executive Wayne Curry, serving through 2002.<br /><br />It did not take long for Miller to leave her mark on the agency. One year into her first term, Miller <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.gazette.net/gazette_archive/1997/199733/montgomerycty/state/a59807-1.html&source=gmail&ust=1610283939464000&usg=AFQjCNG82MIzy8J-P_Z1eRWZbS7Jdw2KlQ" href="http://www.gazette.net/gazette_archive/1997/199733/montgomerycty/state/a59807-1.html" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">intervened</a> in a contract dispute. Recyc Systems Inc., a white-owned firm, won a sludge-hauling contract at WSSC’s Blue Plains site with a low bid of $11.5 million. But Miller pushed the WSSC board to reject Recyc’s bid in favor of MTI Construction, a minority-owned firm, which was the third-lowest bidder at $13.5 million. Miller never told the board that MTI had contributed to her political campaigns. A state court ordered WSSC to reconsider its rejection and <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.gazette.net/gazette_archive/1997/199739/montgomerycty/county/a61692-1.html&source=gmail&ust=1610283939464000&usg=AFQjCNEq2pDewmZuyzReImV3HAvo6hNK0g" href="http://www.gazette.net/gazette_archive/1997/199739/montgomerycty/county/a61692-1.html" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">an ethics investigation ensued</a>.<br /><br />After the WSSC board deadlocked on the Recyc-MTI dispute, Miller accused the agency of racism in contracting. Then-General Manager Cortez A. White, who is black, said <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.gazette.net/gazette_archive/1997/199751/montgomerycty/county/a65386-1.html&source=gmail&ust=1610283939464000&usg=AFQjCNEA3ykqzJi8W-0UoMpEE1G4iPxCjw" href="http://www.gazette.net/gazette_archive/1997/199751/montgomerycty/county/a65386-1.html" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">this</a> about her charges:<br /><br /></span></p><blockquote>The lowest of all polarizing techniques has been used – emotionally charged claims of racism and discrimination, similar to tactics used by Sen. Joseph McCarthy to hunt alleged communists during the early '50s… Unfortunately, the rhetoric on the sludge hauling contract has digressed to a point where political games are being played with professional lives. Personal attacks have been made because technical and professional assessments have not supported certain parochial, political goals. Such remarks are particularly disgraceful because they were uttered by a public official in a position of rank upon essentially defenseless staffers.</blockquote>But Miller was not finished with hurling charges of racism. In 2002, Miller was in her last year on the commission and took on State Senate President Mike Miller (D-27) in a primary. Juanita Miller <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.gazette.net/gazette_archive/2002/200229/weekend/a_section/113652-1.html&source=gmail&ust=1610283939464000&usg=AFQjCNEEez89FexQX1qenNIUK1fCKqOV5w" href="http://www.gazette.net/gazette_archive/2002/200229/weekend/a_section/113652-1.html" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">wrote</a> the U.S. Justice Department complaining of “bid-rigging” at WSSC against minority contractors. She was joined in her request by then-commissioner Kevin P. Maloney of Montgomery County, who alleged bid-rigging against white contractors(!) Miller also alleged that WSSC was “targeting” African-Americans and women for harassment. Miller’s allegations followed the firing of an employee accused of committing $200,000 in fraud against the agency and a Montgomery County investigation finding multiple WSSC commissioners’ abuse of expense money. Nothing came of Juanita Miller’s bid-rigging accusations and Mike Miller defeated her by <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.elections.state.md.us/elections/2002/results/p_ld27.html&source=gmail&ust=1610283939464000&usg=AFQjCNEUnHYzZGi-SBQk7EFwzWR8dbN6HA" href="http://www.elections.state.md.us/elections/2002/results/p_ld27.html" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">62-33%</a> in their Senate primary.<br /><br />Just when WSSC thought it had seen the last of Miller, new County Executive Jack Johnson <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.gazette.net/gazette_archive/2005b/200526/princegeorgescty/county/282858-1.html&source=gmail&ust=1610283939464000&usg=AFQjCNFnOS715wiKxY7U1XvBCuNiKDvfvw" href="http://www.gazette.net/gazette_archive/2005b/200526/princegeorgescty/county/282858-1.html" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">decided to reappoint her to the board</a> in 2005. “It appears that I am ordained to be a public servant,” declared the triumphant Miller, who sits on the board to this day.<br /><br />Miller rejoined a WSSC board that had just concluded a holy war against General Manager John R. Griffin. In March 2004, the board <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.gazette.net/gazette_archive/2004/200410/weekend/a_section/205642-1.html&source=gmail&ust=1610283939464000&usg=AFQjCNGueJArlLu5WXPgQKr44MMKYNgQrA" href="http://www.gazette.net/gazette_archive/2004/200410/weekend/a_section/205642-1.html" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">fired</a> Griffin and his deputy on a 4-2 vote because they allegedly “recklessly spent the agency's money on raises, executive bonuses, excessive travel and consulting fees, mostly without the commissioners’ consent.” But WSSC’s legal counsel found the firing to be <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.gazette.net/gazette_archive/2004/200411/weekend/a_section/206737-1.html&source=gmail&ust=1610283939464000&usg=AFQjCNEoEuDYLZneCQVVWtVadbUmZEdskQ" href="http://www.gazette.net/gazette_archive/2004/200411/weekend/a_section/206737-1.html" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">illegal</a> because the board met behind closed doors and did not take a recorded public vote. The Post editorial board <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/06/20/AR2005062001204.html?referrer%3Demailarticle&source=gmail&ust=1610283939464000&usg=AFQjCNGONh0SNOt9kPD-dNETkaQOrpzNNA" href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/06/20/AR2005062001204.html?referrer=emailarticle" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">said</a> Griffin was “competent” and the firing was “needless.” Griffin and his deputy later accepted a buyout.

<span style="background-color: white; color: #6b6b6b; font-family: "tahoma" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #6b6b6b; font-family: "tahoma" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Baker promised to never allow gambling in PG County, then fought for a casino. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #6b6b6b; font-family: "tahoma" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #6b6b6b; font-family: "tahoma" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Baker promised to create a strong Inspector General position during his first 30 days, but waited 330 days to come up with a toothless "ethics" office. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #6b6b6b; font-family: "tahoma" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #6b6b6b; font-family: "tahoma" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Baker promised to not try to repeal TRIM, then pushed through a TRIM-busting, charter-violating tax increase anyway. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #6b6b6b; font-family: "tahoma" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #6b6b6b; font-family: "tahoma" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Baker said he was for Transit Oriented Development and would fight for transit across the Wilson Bridge--then pushed for major development projects with no transit address and finally bragged about adding infrequent bus service across the bridge, to and from places that would not help solve commuter traffic problems. Baker did nothing to make transit access a prerequisite for approval of his casino site.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #6b6b6b; font-family: "tahoma" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #6b6b6b; font-family: "tahoma" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Baker said he would not make another attempt to take over the schools. When he broke that promise, he said he wanted to be held accountable. Then appointed his brother-in-law to chair the school board, the wife of the delegate who helped with his coup as deputy superintendent, and took no responsibility for the resulting financial scandals, loss of grant money, grade and graduation fraud, and employment of child sex abusers and kiddie pornographers. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #6b6b6b; font-family: "tahoma" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #6b6b6b; font-family: "tahoma" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Although Baker got the most votes in his own county, it was much less than he expected.</span>D.

<br />
This year’s elections will be critical for our community. As we have seen throughout this nation’s history a single election cycle can turn our republic upside down. It is going to take the efforts of you and your community to get out and to vote if we truly want to see improvements to our neighborhoods.<br />
<br />
We should all ask ourselves who are these people who are running for office. Candidates for elected office are campaigning/interviewing with voters to earn the title of becoming an elected official. Most of us have been interviewed so we know that there are questions that need to be addressed to get a feel for who is deserving of our vote. The good candidates answer our questions before we ever ask. They supply us with information ahead of time that they know that we are curious about. The good ones can answer our questions with yes or no (or with I don’t know). The good ones identify the issues that are important to our community and then will tell you how they are going to make improvements.<br />
<br />
Vague answers with the general tone of “I’m going to make things better” without an explanation of how, should be a red flag. Proceed with caution with candidates that do not directly answer your questions with a yes or a no. If you were interviewing with Amazon to become a manager and you couldn’t directly answer a question, do you think that you’d be the organization’s top choice? Probably not.<br />
<br />
Is a candidate spending more time asking for money to their campaign than they are serving the community? What have these candidates done for our community in their free time before the election period ramped up this year? If you are favoring an incumbent, someone who already holds a position, then what type of fundraising and community activities outside of their normal responsibilities have they participated in to improve the community?<br />
<br />
For those who claim that they are going to do a better job with listening and communicating with voters, ask them how exactly they plan to do it. We should reasonably expect for our elected official’s phones and email to be very busy, so how are they going to ensure that we will be listened to while they are in office?<br />
<br />
Lets do our part and research those who claim that they deserve our vote. Lets change our government from within with the power of your vote.<br />

<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">In the last chapter of </span><a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_Farm&source=gmail&ust=1498702102575000&usg=AFQjCNGd4Dk_Mts5VsE4lyicV3F5G--kzg" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_Farm" style="color: #1155cc; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;" target="_blank">Orwell's <i>Animal Farm</i></a><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">, the sign that once read "All animals are equal" has been changed to "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others." That seems to apply to disciplinary actions in the Prince George's County school system.</span></div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
According to the <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/nearly-850-employees-in-md-school-system-on-leave-this-year-as-child-abuse-investigations-soar/2017/06/25/9b7fdd8a-4585-11e7-a196-a1bb629f64cb_story.html?utm_term=.5b14f742861b">Washington Post</a> and other sources, over 800 Prince George's school employees have been placed on administrative leave, with little or no due process, little opportunity to defend themselves, based in many cases on the flimsiest of charges, even charges that are obviously untrue or ridiculous. <br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Post cites examples of cases where employees have not been allowed to return to their positions even after they have been cleared of all charges. In one case cited a counselor was suspended for not reporting an event he did not witness because he was on leave at the time. Even though he has since been cleared he has not been allowed to return to duty.<br /><br />Now we have the system and its top administrators, including CEO Maxwell and deputy superintendent Davis accused of a number of things including changing grades, promoting and graduating unqualified students, and threatening to arrest an elected school board member.<br /><br />So,<div class="gmail_default" style="display: inline; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">
</div>
considering how quickly the system takes action against employees generally, why aren't Maxwell, Davis and others on administrative leave pending investigation of the charges against them? <br /><br />Are they exempt from application of the policies they have established and applied to their subordinates?<br /><br />Apparently so. Given the gravity of the charges being made, one would expect them to be subject to at least the same level of sanctions they impose on others.</div>

It is unfortunate that neither they, nor the politicians responsible for hiring them, are willing to abide by the standards they apply to subordinates.</div>

<br />
Baker promised to never allow any form of gambling in Prince George's County. He lied. <br />
<br />
Baker promised to not make another attempt to take over the schools. He lied. <br />
<br />
Baker promised to work to bring transit across the Wilson Bridge to National Harbor. After seven years he finally pushed for a bus route. <br />
<br />
Baker claims to be FOR Transit Oriented Development, but most of the development he brags about has limited or no transit service. <br />
<br />
Meanwhile, he has accomplished nothing significant to improve development around existing Metro stations like Capitol Heights, Naylor Road and Southern Avenue. <br />
<br />
Numerous Safeways and Giants have closed on his watch, replaced by substandard stores and empty storefronts. <br />
<br />
During Baker's term the area in St. Mary's County around the Pax River Naval Air Station has seen significant positive development including a myriad of restaurant choices. but the equivalent Prince George's County area around Joint Base Andrews remains a food desert with no quality restaurant or retail development. <br />
<br />
Numerous stores have closed in places like the BLVD and Bowie Town Center that PG pols formerly bragged about.<br />
<br />
Baker brags about fixing the schools, but whenever Baker had interfered with the schools there have been serious problems. The first appointed board he pushed for saw the CEO go to federal prison for corruption and one of the top assistants go to federal prison for drug money laundering. The current scandal-plagued administration, headed by a crony appointed by Baker and his brother-in-law choice for school board chair, is top heavy, has had financial scandals, lost millions of federal money through mismanagement, has kiddie porn and child abuse problems, has suspended over 800 employees without any real due process, depriving children of a stable educational environment and spending a fortune on substitutes, and now is under fire for questionable grading practices,<br />
<br />
I didn't see anything in his announcement bragging about how he cut trash collection.<br />
<br />
And Baker seems to forget that his county had one of the highest foreclosure rates on his watch. If real estate prices are up now, it is because they dropped so fast during his first term. D. C.

School CEO Maxwell, selected as a patronage employee by county executive Rushern Baker (not by the board), denies all charges, claims they are politically motivated. Baker continues to support Maxwell.<br />
<br />
<u>Recently in the news</u>: Over 800 school employees have been suspended, often not told why. Suspension rate is many, many times that of nearby school districts.<br />
<br />
<u>Question</u>: How many of the suspensions were politically motivated, retaliation against whistleblowers and critics, or just based on personal dislikes?<br />
<br />
<u>May and June 2005</u>: Post and Gazette report on FBI raids of county offices, some involving people later charged in connection with the schemes for which county executive Jack Johnson was eventually convicted. During June Oxon Hill Library reopening ceremony Johnson claims to have the most ethical administration ever.<br />
<br />
<u>Question</u>. Are denials by Baker and cronies more believable than those by Johnson? Why?<br />

<br />
All of the county-specific questions will increase the cost of county government and increase the "structural deficit" that our greedy elected officials are using as an excuse for raising taxes. Some of the questions will primarily benefit special interest groups, not the public at large.<br />
<br />
The one state question could prevent the Governor from appointing the best qualified replacement in the event of an Attorney General or Comptroller vacancy.<br />
<b><br /></b><b><u>Vote AGAINST the county bond questions (A, B, C, E, F).</u></b><br />
<b><br /></b>In addition to the direct costs shown in the ballot language, these bond issues will obligate the county to pay an undisclosed amount of money for an undisclosed period in interest and other debt service related costs.<br />
<br />
County officials have been complaining that they do not have enough money--that they have what they call a "structural deficit." Any additional commitments to pay the principal, interest, and fees related to these bonds will inevitably increase that "structural deficit."<br />
<br />
Thus, planning to spend even more money is both irresponsible and almost certainly preliminary to yet another attempt to circumvent the will of the people and raise taxes.<br />
<br />
<b>Question F is especially bad! </b>It would transfer transfer over $120 million plus ongoing interest, fees, and rents from the taxpayer to Rushern Baker's development cronies to pay for moving county offices out of county-owned buildings in Upper Marlboro into totally unnecessary leased space in Largo. It is little more than welfare for wealthy special interests who finance political campaigns.<br />
<br />
<b><i>And there is no real guarantee that the proceeds from any of the bond issues will actually be spent as promised.</i></b> Our elected officials have repeatedly misled us about how money will be spent--remember that the lottery was sold to us with the promise that it would fund schools, not stadiums for wealthy sport moguls. And a number of our elected officials, including Rushern Baker, have lied to us about TRIM and raising taxes. They have earned out distrust.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Question D is another payoff for special interests.</u> </b>Adding to the county council would cost the county well over a million dollars a year, adding even more to the "structural deficit" at a time when the county claims it is too poor to fully staff police district VII.<br />
<br />
Note that the supporters funding a yes vote on Question D are primarily wealthy special interests who see it as an easy way to buy more elected officials.<br />
<br />
And although the Prince George's County Democratic Central Committee voted against supporting Question D, many candidate committees are sponsoring a dishonest "2016 Democratic Sample Ballot" telling people to vote for the question. I have listed some of the campaigns promoting this dishonest sample ballot <a href="http://pg-politics.blogspot.com/2016/10/pg-politics-withdraws-support-for.html">in another posting.</a><br />
<br />
You might want to ask your council members why providing more opportunities for career politicians to feed at the public trough is a higher priority than public safety and to whom the new at-large members will really owe their primary allegiance.<br />
<br />
<u style="font-weight: bold;">Question G is partly an admission of failure and partly welfare for lawyers.</u> County officials want to be able to spend tax money, again increasing the "structural deficit," and their claimed need for higher taxes, on outside lawyers. Their claim seems to be that outside lawyers are necessary when the council and executive disagree on legal issues, but there is no explanation of why county lawyers cannot br=e trusted to interpret the law. The state Attorney General is authorized and staffed to settle any such disputes with spending county money on outside lawyer. And there is no accountability here--this question would essentially give the council and executive a blank check for welfare payments to lawyer cronies.<br />
<br />
<i><b>A vote for any of the county questions is a vote for higher deficits and higher taxes.</b></i><br />
<i><b><br /></b></i><i><b>A vote for Questions D, F, or G is also a vote to reward or subsidize cronies and other special interests.</b></i><br />

<br />
This document suggests that the Democratic Party wants us to vote FOR Question D, even though the Prince George's County Democratic Central Committee voted to NOT SUPPORT Question D.<br />
<br />
It also endorsed Ingrid Turner for circuit court judge, implying that she is one of the "sitting judges." She is not a sitting judge, just a political opportunist seeking a position she could not achieve in the manner such judges are normally appointed.<br />
<br />
We need honest judges who do not misrepresent themselves or the party's position on important issues.<br />
<br />
So, I can no longer support Judges Dawson, Engel, and Mason, and continue to oppose Ingrid Turner.<br />

They tried once and failed to get around citizen-imposed restraints on the length of time they can hold office, and are now trying again. And they have worked hard to modify citizen-imposed restraints on taxes and spending.<br /><br />But none of them had the honesty or integrity to campaign on a platform of overruling and thumbing their noses at the voters.

Larry Hogan to step in and arrange for a comprehensive investigation of the Prince George's school system, either by a qualified and truly independent investigator, or by the state Board of Education (if they can be trusted to do the job honestly). <br />
<br />
In his 2010 inauguration speech, Rushern Baker said:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Some have asked, “Are you planning on taking direct control over the county schools?” My answer is no, but let me say this: <b>I will also not sit idly by and be silent. </b></blockquote>
Despite what Mr. Baker said then, he later went ahead and persuaded the General Assembly to give him substantial control over the schools. <br />
<br />
Neither Mr. Baker's inauguration speech, nor his request to his enablers in the General Assembly said that he would use his control of the county schools as a high paid jobs program for his cronies or that he would (1) tolerate sexual predators and bullies who would prey upon and humiliate our youngest, most vulnerable children, (2) protect the high paid cronies who allowed that behavior to continue, (3) allow the destruction of, and give up funding for and control of, what was once among the most successful of the county schools' programs, or (4) that <b>he would, in fact, "sit idly by and be silent"</b> while his cronies ignored ongoing problems and concealed them from elected board members and the public for months.<br />
<br />
Note that after the latest scandal--Head Start--became public, the Mr. Baker's minions took action against six low-level employees, including a <a href="http://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/Employee-Fired-From-Prince-Georges-County-Says-She-Reported-All-Issues-With-Head-Start-Program-392188851.html">whistleblower who was fired</a> despite having reported abuses to her boss, but Mr. Baker has done nothing about the administrators who tolerated and/or were ignorant of the behavior of their subordinates.<br />
<br />
Another of Mr. Baker's promises, repeated frequently with essentially the same thought but varying wording was <br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I also pledge to establish a first ever County Inspector General to police ethics conduct and perform annual ethics audits.</blockquote>
<div>
and</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
The County will create an office of Inspector General to investigate waste, fraud, abuse, mismanagement and conflicts-of-interest in the County government. The Inspector General must be professionally qualified with a background in auditing and public financial management. The Inspector General must be selected based on ability and integrity, without regard to political affiliation. The Inspector General will be appointed by the County Executive and confirmed by the County Council for a fixed term of office that is staggered and non-concurrent with the Executive and Council. The office of inspector general will have its own staff and will enjoy subpoena power. The Inspector General will conduct investigations, review financial managements, examine potential conflicts-of-interest, conduct performance audits and similar reviews, make recommendations, public findings, and make referrals to law enforcement agencies. The Inspector General will also conduct annual ethics audits of locally elected officials and make results public.</blockquote>
Creating the Inspector General office was just another of Mr. Baker's broken promises. <br />
<br />
If Mr. Baker had kept that promise, and hired the kind of person he promised, with the kind of staff and authority he promised, we would have an Inspector General who presumably could be trusted to conduct an honest, independent investigation of the Head Start fiasco and other serious problems with the school system and board.<br />
<br />
Mr. Baker failed to keep his promise. <br />
<br />
Now that the problems in the school system and with the school board members he appointed have once again come to the attention of the media and the public, Mr. Baker seems to be acting as if he has nothing to do with problems in the schools, but says he has full confidence in his people<br />
<br />
And Mr. Baker now seems willing to let the relative and cronies he appointed to run the schools, who allowed all this to happen, who covered up, investigate themselves.<br />
<br />
In most cases, in the real world, crooks and incompetents do not investigate themselves, someone else does. But normal rules don't seem to apply in our one-party county. It is easy to understand why Prince George's County gets so little respect.<br />
<br />
News reports over the past few years suggest that physical, mental, and sexual abuse of Prince George's County schoolchildren is not as rare as county and school officials would like us to believe.<br />
<br />
The right thing for Mr. Baker to do would be to ask an independent authority to conduct a truly independent investigation. If our Mr. Baker and our other county leaders refuse to do what is right, Gov. Hogan should step in and see to what is necessary and right. <br />

Del. Aisha N. Braveboy (D-Prince George’s) argued that Baker is “making a change just for the sake of making a change,” and she suggested that an outside expert be brought in to assess the system.<br />

Delegate Aisha Braveboy, D-Prince George’s, said there have been other executive takeovers of school systems across the country, but she is not convinced they have been as effective as they initially sought out to be.<br />

“I think it’s difficult for us to say that this change (in structure) would yield better results given that the proposal hasn’t proven to be successful in other areas,” Braveboy said.<br />

State Sen. Ulysses Currie (D-Prince George’s) said he plans to support Baker’s proposed state legislation, which likely will be added as amendments to a bill that Del. Geraldine Valentino-Smith (D-Prince George’s) proposed months ago to form a task force to review the operations of the school board.<br />
<br />
“I think he is going in the right direction,” Currie said, describing the school system as the “weak link” in the county’s ability to move forward. Baker has long said the schools — which rank toward the bottom of Maryland’s school systems in terms of achievement — are a hurdle to economic growth.</blockquote>

Others in the Prince George’s delegation, including Delegate Dereck Davis, believe the changes in power make sense conceptually.<br />
<br />
“If the executive is willing to take this on and wants to be held accountable for it, I’m supportive of the idea,” said Davis, adding that the county has been consistently ranked at the bottom of the state in terms of student achievement during the nearly 19 years he has been in office.<br />
<br />
Davis said he has talked to many of his colleagues on the House side, and that a majority of them are in favor of taking some type of action in the near future.<br />
<br />
“It may not be precisely what the county executive introduces, but overall they are not satisfied with what’s currently going on.” Davis said. “They’re definitely supportive of seeing something happen that would alter the course that we have been on.”</blockquote>

Del. Dereck E. Davis (D-Prince George’s), who has served in the General Assembly for nearly 20 years, said he is constantly bombarded by constituent complaints about the school system’s slow progress.<br />
<br />
“There have been modest gains . . . but we had nowhere to go but up,” Davis said. “Can I guarantee that this will improve schools? I can’t make that guarantee. But we need to plot a different course. . . . If [Baker is] willing to take it on, I’m willing to back it.”<br />
<br />
After a bitter battle took place in 2002 to get rid of the elected board of education and replace it with an appointed board — a move that was reversed in 2006 — Baker’s new schools plan has run into fresh resistance in the General Assembly, where several lawmakers are concerned that the county executive would have more power than any other in the state.</blockquote>

Del. Jolene Ivey (D-Dist. 47) of Cheverly, chairwoman of the county’s House delegation, believes the change could be positive for Baker. Prince George’s students’ test scores have ranked near or at the bottom on the state standardized tests for years, and although the school board oversees the education system, voters tend to hold Baker and county leaders responsible for the state of local schools, Ivey said. Ivey added that she did not think Baker’s proposal comes with any future political agenda.<br />
<br />
“Sure, anything good he’s able to accomplish benefits him in the future politically, but he’s got three kids who graduated from Prince George’s schools and he’s committed to making them better,” Ivey said. “There’s always that risk of it not working out, but if you take the safe route, what have you accomplished?

<li>Was Davis' support of Baker's coup really "for the children," or more to curry favor with his boss?</li>
<li>Did the school system really need another high-paid administrator, and was Mrs. Davis the absolute best choice, or was her hiring payment for Del. Davis' support?</li>
<li>Was Seguin Eubanks the absolute best choice for BOE chair, or was his hiring influenced by his relationship to Baker and one of his top aides?</li>
</ul>
I'm sure their are other ethical questions that could also be asked--including whether any of the above contributed to Baker's failure to keep his promises about ethics and hiring an Inspector General.D.

<br />
As has been reported before, the "Blue Ribbon Commission" was set up to deal with the "structural deficit." So, what is a "structural deficit"? Despite some other more formal definitions: <br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"Structural deficit" is the politically correct euphemism used by politicians to try to rationalize and distract attention from their uncontrolled addition to spending money they don't have and will never have unless they steal more from the public at large.</blockquote>
While politicians expect you and me to live within our means, and scrape by on whatever they don't take from us, these politicians feel they are entitled to grab anything they can get away with.<br />
<br />
Their spending addiction is not really much different from alcoholism or addition to drugs. <br />
<br />
Drug addicts and alcoholics often live in denial of their addiction and resort to subterfuge and theft to satisfy their addiction.<br />
<br />
<div>
And so it is with politicians and their insatiable addiction to spending--they rationalize what they are doing to each other, grab what they can from the public, delude themselves into believing they are doing nothing wrong, and fail to seek treatment.<br />
<br />
The best way for the public to deal with spending-addicted politicians is to send them back to the real world, not reinforce their addiction by supporting or reelecting them.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, the voters of Prince George's County (and most of Maryland) support the addicts and reinforce their addiction. <br />
<br />
As a result, Prince George's County residents have about the highest tax burden in the region, with some of the poorest and decreasing services, and are about to be held up again. And while many people will complain about the politicians overriding TRIM and ignoring the will of the voters, most voters seem satisfied with the status quo and have the kind of government they probably deserve.<br />
<br />
What we need is a commission that will force the county to live within its means, improve productivity, advocate recall, and develop a 12-step program for spending addicts.</div>
