With the 2024 elections coming up (before we know it)…expect more and more candidates / elected officials to switch positions (or to take strong positions) on this issue (that is my guess). Time will tell if I am correct.

Your DC Defenders Playoff Update from this weekend:
XFL Championship is on May 13th and between Arlington and DC. The Observer is planning to travel to San Antonio to watch and cover that game for followers (and let’s be honest…for myself).
And finally: On a personal note…covering stories (like the opening of Braglio Farms Smokehouse in Finksburg – see video here: https://www.facebook.com/CarrollObserver/videos/621107579822299) pays off sometimes.
I am 5 for 5 on visiting to get the items they offer weekly…and I can further report all items have been outstanding.
