Hi Governor, it's a pleasure having this opportunity. I've lived in MD for all my life, and am curious to several things.

• I heard a 'rain tax' rumored some time back; is there any nugget of truth to this? And please explain if there is.

• I am happy to hear about the recent and pending decriminalization of marijuana, however I am shocked and appalled to hear about Maryland banning the sale of high proof alcohols; this seems backwards.

• How about these roads and infrastructure? I know as far as Montgomery County goes we could use a revamp of Ride-On. Many a time the busses have not showed up or been rampantly late; causing me to lose a job here and there. What about a light rail line from Rockville to Frederick? This would spur on the development of Clarksburg.

• Why aren't we more on the forefront of renewable energy? Let's put in algae biofuel research centers along the bay, wind farms on the eastern shore.

• Our state is looked up to by others for the school system (which is honestly abysmal to me, having gone through MCPS), and we could be such an example to the nation. Why not teach our students life skills such as how to pay their taxes and find a job when your degree isn't worth anything. Let's implement a student loan program that doesn't rob & financially cripple our youth, allowing our state's future economy to grow.

*Lastly, how are you? How has being Governor changed your perception of life? Will we see you in the polls in two years?

Thank you for your time sir, any and all answers are appreciated.

I honestly thought this was going to be something horrible. It was not. Thank you for the education, I've always pondered what rape looks like.

How can I help?

How are you sustaining yourself out there? Is income an issue and how do you find yourself sleeping while out on the prowl? Sounds like a good bit of traveling or do you stay in a general area?

Because of how unprepared & uneducated I felt leaving MCPS going into the MD University system. Meeting others from around the country, it's clear that it is one of the best school systems; yet as far as preparing kids for the 'real world' it's barely there. That's why I feel that way and qualify it as "abysmal".
