Congressman Hoyer is clueless as to the ramifications of passing any law which would have the government mandate what you have to buy, via a threat of fines and jail! Under his definition of “promoting the general welfare” our Constitution no longer exists.

Femi Field. First of all, the field renamed was the baseball field at Lions Field, not the entire area. Secondly, a BIG thank you to LaVale Athletic Association for all of the time and effort they put forth to have the field renamed.

Not much has changed to allay this concern; sprawling development continues, and alteration and loss of natural habitat is largely unchecked.
