Senator Don Munson makes up excuses – Has caused the middle class family losses in Income and Jobs

Subject: Senator Don Munson makes up excuses – Has caused the middle class family losses in Income and Jobs

To Herald Mail Editor,

Regarding this letter to the Editor http://www.herald-mail.com/?cmd=displaystory&story_id=245405&format=html

Munson updates residents on 2010 legislative session

In the Senator’s Letter to the Editor, he failed to mention when he stated that he voted against taxes and so on, this is not true, he voted for the Millionaires Tax Increase, which forced business’s out of Maryland, he also voted for Speed Cameras which is another form of Taxation to make up for lost revenue and not only that, last year, while voting for the Governor’s budget, he voted to furlough State Workers, which hit the Middle Class family hard. So while he may be a staunch conservative for 2nd Amendment Rights, he is an avid supporter of Governor O’Malley and pork barrel spending, and voted for tax increases, regardless of what he states in his Letter to the Editor. He also sided with Democrat, John Donoghue on making sure that Delegate Shanks, Healthcare Reform Act was not successful in being adopted. He also sided with Delegate Donoghue regarding the Correctional Bill of rights in which Delegate Shank amended the bill to allow union workers their own representation outside of the union. And while he may have come forth in support of E Verify this year, he did so after the pressure the voters put on him after his vote for a Million Dollars to Casa De Maryland, an Illegal Organization that assists Illegal Aliens obtain jobs in Maryland regardless of their Immigration Status. Quite frankly, Senator Munson is trying to save a failing career as our Senator, he see’s the writing on the wall and is desperate to maintain his position. Senator Munson, knowing that he has made terrible decisions regarding Illegal Immigration also chased down Help Save Maryland in the Halls of the State House, knowing there was noway he could escape his poor voting record and lack of protection for the citizens in District 2. It’s called Smoke and Mirrors and Senator Munson has become very well versed on this, after all, on the Senate Caucus floor, he threw a tirade that I hated the Governor and Senate President Mike Miller, to that I say, Senator, your wrong, I hate their politics and wasteful spending on Programs that do not help the Middle Class family. Come down from out of the clouds. Remember your friend, Commissioner Barr, who stated to me, after I presented in front of the board on E Verify, it’s a federal issue he said, but you have yet to get behind me on getting this implemented, so again, co sponsoring is one thing, but actually doing something about it is another. You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can’t fool all of us all the time. Not to worry, the Herald Mail is so one sided in their reporting, this will not even be seen in the paper.

CASA de Maryland on good terms with county

Published on: Thursday, May 13, 2010 Montgomery Sentinel

By Alix Farr

Despite CASA de Maryland’s controversial support of illegal immigrants, the group maintains a positive working relationship with many areas of Montgomery County government, receiving more than a million dollars in grants and bid contracts each year, according to a county spokesman.

“We are the provider of last resort services,” said Mary Anderson, the spokeswoman for the county’s Health and Human Services, with whom CASA has won bid contracts in areas such as health outreach and promotion, English language teaching, job training, education, and youth programming.

“We have residents in Montgomery County who don’t have access to health care, adequate nutrition, and housing, and with no other safety net,” Anderson said. “Our job is to protect vulnerable people to make sure that they are not homeless, and that’s irrespective [sic] of what their status is.”

CASA itself is known for working tirelessly to protect illegal immigrants and bring about immigration reform since its formation in 1985 as a support group for Central American immigrants.

In addition to campaigning for immigration reform, CASA also sponsors programs to build strong communities, according to its 2009 annual report. These efforts are centered on immigrant-heavy neighborhoods and focus on areas such as crime prevention.

According to CASA’s website, they are able to operate through funding from local governments, private foundations, individuals, congregations, and civic associations. In its fiscal year 2009, which ended on June 30, 2009, CASA earned about $9.5 million in support and revenue, a third of which came from government contracts, not only with Montgomery County but also with other government groups throughout Maryland, according to the annual report. With this support, CASA reaches over 20,000 low-income Latinos and immigrants every year.

“Most of the undocumented immigrants are hard workers and come to this country looking for better opportunities for their families, working in jobs that Americans don’t chose to work such as agriculture and construction,” said CASA spokeswoman Tania del Angel.

A 2009 immigration reform report co-authored and supported by CASA claims that “between 12 and 20 million undocumented people live in the United States performing critical jobs in our economy” and that deporting these people would “capsize employers across the country.”

The same report also calls for a legalization program, through which undocumented residents of the United States can apply for legal immigration status, and better enforcement of immigration laws in the future.

“The President should take action to fix our broken immigration system,” del Angel said. “A solution is a Comprehensive Immigration Reform law that would provide a path to legalization for those hard workers and their families that live here without a criminal record and control the future flows.”

CASA applauds the efforts of Montgomery County officials, del Angel said. “Montgomery County has shown more support to immigrants than many other counties around the metro areas of Washington, D.C.”

County Executive Isiah “Ike” Leggett (D) has publicly stated that he believes there is a need for immigration reform and is often seen in attendance at events sponsored by CASA, according to Karla Silvestre, a community liaison for the county.

“We are not in the business of enforcing immigration reform,” said Silvestre. “We are in the business of serving county residents–everyone who lives here is entitled and CASA is providing services to residents.”

In addition to the bid contracts won with Health and Human Services, CASA has also received community grants and non-competitive contracts, some funded by state and federal money distributed by the county, but the majority by Montgomery County taxes, according to county spokesman Patrick Lacefield.

For fiscal year 2011, which has not yet been approved, the county is recommending that over $1.3 million go to CASA, $1.1 of which is tax supported, according to information compiled by the Office of Management and Budget. This budget includes funding for services such as job placement, English as a Second Language classes, legal services, a health care interpreter, and social services, all provided by CASA.

“We need the county to work closer with the community in terms of social services, security, and job opportunity for the immigrants and minorities,” del Angel said. “The county and the rest of the community should give immigrants and minorities an opportunity to show their contributions to the state.”
