Changes

A 172-acre site, known as the Hayden Farm, was purchased by St. Mary's County Government for a new elementary school and other public facilities. The Board of County Commissioners for St. Mary's County approved the purchase for $5,259,500 at a meeting on Christmas Eve, Dec. 24, 2008. The vote was 4-1 with Larry Jarboe (R) dissenting. Jarboe is quoted as saying, "I do not believe this is right. This stinks more than a whole bushel of rotten crabs."<ref>JASON BABCOCK and JESSE YEATMAN, "County buys 172 acres for schools, library," ''Enterprise'', Dec. 26, 2008, {{cite web |url=http://www.somdnews.com/stories/12262008/entetop110342_32179.shtml |title=County buys 172 acres for schools, library |last=Jason |first=Babcock |publisher=Enterprise |date=2008-12-26 |accessdate=2009-04-01}}</ref>
