Domestic Entanglement....more on this story as information becomes available....for
hundreds of citizens who are charged with beating their spouses each year, remember this
one....Sheriff David Zylak has deputies who cart off an entire tractor-trailer load of
evidence from the police property storage awaiting disposition by a court, enrich their
family and friends, and never, ever are charged with theft...another deputy files false
reports over who the stolen property was released and is not fired...and yet Zylak intends
to seek reelection!

Maryland to Latinos:
GET LOST!
(Adios Muchachos!)
Pay it again, Sam...or Senor
Not only do Point Lookout's heavy-handed
rangers boost visitors to the park fees to enter, but, God forbid if they run out of bait
and want to go back to a local store to get some peeler crab, squid or more bloodworms at
Ricks Marine, or pick up some fried chicken from Raleys Market, they have to pay all over
again! The sign above is in English and Spanish, erected since Latinos in the DC
area discovered Point Lookout's beauty. Signs have never been posted in
Vietnamese, Chinese or Korean despite large numbers of those ethnic groups using the park.
Families have been kicked out of the park when only some members of the family were
fishing but some, like older family members or kids, were not. The park
superintendent denies this policy but visitors to the park report that it has happened to
them.
Why is the DNR Charging Fees for Using
Point Lookout Fishing Pier?
The Maryland Saltwater Fishing License
program was started to create funds to build fishing reefs and fishing piers, complete
with parking, now the DNR is charging for the use of the pier at Point Lookout, charging
to park vehicles in the parking lot for the pier and it's only a matter of time before
they install a pay option for the toilet. The fishing license program was started to fund
these improvements for the use of people to fish without any further charge. Prior
to this time, the God-given right to fish saltwater was free.
This sign erected years ago may soon come tumbling down due to a new policy
shown on the sign below, erected by DNR at the entrance to the fishing pier.
This is the third sign ordering that those fishing on the pier
already paid for by license fees, and paid again and again every time a person buys the
annual license to fish in Maryland waters, dig into their pockets once again. The
charging for the use of the pier is another of a series of efforts implemented by DNR to
drive out Asians and Mexicans who come to the park from the Washington area.
