Comment: Halt of Birth and Death Certificates Will Cause ‘Hassle for Folks’

Eldersburg Patch readers weigh in on the news of the week.

Readers took their opinions to Eldersburg Patch this week, commenting most on stories about the halt of birth and death certificate distribution at the Carroll County Health Department, whether dog parks are needed in Eldersburg, same-sex marriage, and two new Carroll County Economic Development positions.

Carroll County Health Department Halts Distribution of Birth and Death Certificates "This is really too bad. CCHD has been issuing birth/death certificates for a long time and the fee is reasonable. It's going to cause all kinds of hassle for folks. I'd much rather deal with CCHD than directly with the state." - withavengeance 

Exploring Issues in Eldersburg: Dog Parks "Maybe a dog park will reduce the amount of dog s*** I have to clean from my kids' cleats that they step in on the soccer fields at Freedom Park." - CC Farmboy

Carroll County Delegates Against Same-Sex Marriage "This country is supposed to be based on equality...an on-going war for some elements of this "free" society. A religious definition of marriage is not necessarily the same as a legal definition...yet denying the term "marriage" to one segment of society is discrimination, pure and simple." - Judith M. Smith

Commissioners: Two Economic Development Administrators Better than One Director "Two heads are better than one... and two wrongs don't make a right....these guys will do as they are told though..... that's all that counts." - Buck Harmon.
