Doing Heroin with the Dewey Decimal System at the Library

PRINCE FREDERICK, MD. As yet another example of the continued slide to the sewer of contemporary society in Maryland and the rest of the nation, a ruckus took place at the Prince Frederick library. This is the same library where world-famous author Tom Clancy conducted his research thirty years ago as he penned his famous books.

Instead, three Calvert County deputies were charging into the library tracking a drug suspect.

The I-Team’s review of Maryland State Highway Administration records found government work crews had removed more than 1,600 unlawfully placed road signs in Montgomery and Prince George’s counties over a recent four-month span. Crews pulled 450 more from state roads in Frederick, Howard and Carroll counties. Those signs include a large number of campaign advertisements, according to a state spokesman.

Once removed by crews, the campaign signs are deposited in storage areas at state garages.
