The deal was established in 1972 and hasn't been updated since. I'm sure it made sense then when the county population was 240K less and far fewer communities were then serviced by the water/sewer system. It's time to revamp the deal though... which seems like it may be starting soon: https://www.baltimorecountymd.gov/county-news/2023/01/31/baltimore-county-and-baltimore-city-leaders-announce-landmark-legislation-to-create-regional-water-governance-task-force

Pretty sure that's false. At $560M we certainly spend more than we should for 600K people, but there are other cities that spend more per person. Uvalde comes to mind because of the closer look articles gave to their budget. For 15,312 people they spend $25.3M on police. So they spend $1652 per person vs $933 per person here in Bmore.

We just did Koba Korean BBQ last weekend and it was a blast. I fully admit Jong Kak is better, but quite a bit more expensive. Korean BBQ is Covid safe due to the vent hoods above the tables all moving air continuously. Also, Apple Soju is great, but at 12% it hit me.
