Finally, Our Voices Will Be Heard About Section 8 And Its Impact On Dundalk

Local politicians set up meeting at North Point Library to deal with issues.

I have been writing about this for years and even ran a political campaign on the issues and lost.  That did not deter me from continuing to voice my concerns over the issues.

Steve Mattrazzo, a columnist for The Dundalk Eagle, wrote the following concerning the conditions in Dundalk:  “And what do we have now? The closure of the steel mill and the overall decline in the local economy, and all of the travails that come with prolonged downturn – crime, substance abuse, trash, rats, vacant buildings falling into disrepair – creeping ever further into regularity”.

In response to not only our two voices but many others as well, we finally are being heard.  I will let the letter from our political leaders do the talking.   If you care and want to have your voice heard make sure you’re there Wednesday, January 23rd from 6-8 p.m. in the meeting room at the North Point Branch of the Baltimore County Public Library located in the Merrit Park Shopping Center.
