BALTIMORE COUNTY - Baltimore County today announced the launch of a water quality dashboard, a new online tool that allows the public to review chemicals and bacteria levels in their water.
“Transparency and accountability are cornerstones of my administration, and this dashboard is yet another example of our commitment to making important data easily accessible for residents,” said Baltimore County Executive Johnny Olszewski. “This up-to-date information about of the health of our neighborhood streams will show trends in water quality and prove useful to everyone from scientists and students to community leaders, boaters, and people who just want to enjoy Baltimore County’s beautiful waterways.”

The County’s team of natural resource specialists monitor more than 100 specific sites each month, checking for an array of indicators and pollutants such as:

I can’t believe these are our ‘leaders’. Drugs deals on every corner and in every parking lot. Johnny Clueless so concerned about low income earners, when they live better than the middle class. Garbage bags littered everywhere by mostly the people Johnny ‘entitled’ to county houses.
My concern about some of the logic being used here is that the problem isn't the plastic bags.
Let's talk about the people who are doing the littering. Full garbage bags placed on the streets and sideways. Garbage being thrown from cars and trucks. Pedestrians walking and eating..than throwing garbage on the ground. Dog walkers not picking up after their dogs. Etc..
