Maybe they really were having drugs mailed there. The plumber is checkin the pipes. ??? No, that was mayor of a small Maryland town whose name escapes me. Jack Johnson has been a PG County Executive for several years and was a state's attorney for PG before that. Edit: The town was Berwyn Heights, which is in P.G. County.

Dan T. Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 He was investigated before for steering no-bid contracts to un-qualified people. One of the articles said his PG County office was searched, too, so it sounds like it might be job-related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
