Officer George said:
Judge Gatewood is apparently a special individual who lives in the County at his Bay Rd. estate and is a sitting judge in Baltimore City. I applaud County Executive John Leopold for his efforts,but given Gatewoods' prominence I doubt if anything will be done by a political animal such as Gansler.

Do they really know this is a fact. I find that often people are on a witch hunt for whatever reason. Give me more than someones belief. As Joe Friday said "give me the facts".

Because this state is one party dominated, thus allowing corruption and cronyism to fester unchecked for more than 40 years. Look only at Baltimore City's election. The same people who have been part of the problem for so many years were all elevated to higher office!

Judges/Lawyers live in a different world from the rest of us common folk. They feel like they can do anything and get away with it. Oh, now I see why a lot of politicians are lawyers.
