She has no business telling us what we’re doing wrong - editorial

Recently, Garrett Countians got a chance to meet one of the Maryland General Assembly’s most radical left-wing champions. Delegate Heather Mizeur, a representative from Montgomery County, was one of the guest speakers at the Garrett County Democrats annual dinner.

Mizeur also held separate meetings where she updated attendees as to legislative efforts regarding natural gas drilling in Garrett and Allegany counties. She even requested and received a private tour of Garrett Memorial Hospital to inspect their recycling efforts.

What many do not know of Delegate Mizeur is that she has championed many liberal causes outside of the Marcellus Shale moratorium.

She was one of the most outspoken champions of a measure to destroy the statute that requires marriage be between a man and woman. She represents an area in which Tripwire, Maryland’s leading gun rights newsletter, describes as a “political dead zone.”

She championed a measure that would allow for transgender individuals to sue potential employers if they felt the employer discriminated against them. She has consistently voted in favor of every tax increase she could.

She even voted for the measure that streamlined the process for windmills to go up on Western Maryland’s mountaintops. Most of this information can even be easily accessed on her campaign website.

I’m proud of the legislators we have representing Garrett and Allegany counties. They were born, raised, and educated in this area. They know not only the issues, but also the people that are affected by those issues.

I don’t think Garrett and Allegany counties need a down-state liberal coming here to tell us what we are doing wrong. We’ve gotten along just fine without her.
