20. I have provided you a link that shows you where the largest offender is incorporated.

I have provided you another link that shows WHY they incorporated in MD -- to hide their individual shareholders.

I have also informed you that Rubio is up in that private prison business to his elbows.

You keep coming back at me with with whines that I'm whining, when all I am asking for is clarity.

Has MO'M protested this issue before, when he was in office and had authority to influence change? Has he tried to get the incorporation laws changed while he was governor to force more transparency WRT the shareholders of the largest practitioner of this ugly industry?

Those are not "whines." They're fair questions. People who congregate here, who purport to be experts on this candidate's background should be able to answer them--and if they can't, then don't you think NOW is the time to fix that little knowledge gap, rather than later? Or, you can shoot the messenger.


And O'Malley HAS had a "prison problem" in his past--don't you think it would be a good idea for him to try to inoculate himself against this kind of stuff being revisited, again?

If you don't believe me, look at this: https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/md-politics/for-gov-omalley-md-jail-scandal-caps-years-of-trouble-with-baltimore-facility/2013/06/05/c8985da4-cde5-11e2-8845-d970ccb04497_story.html
