I can remember when not to long ago Perry Hall High school use to be at the top of this and other lists.
Then Johnny O moved the city out there with his programs, now just another cesspool thanks to liberal politics.

It is apparent that you don't remember when Perry Hall was on the the top five list. I do remember. Not a fan of that O. He favors his district and not ours. But, Historically: There were Only two Republican County Executives. One was Hayden who lost the second term. The other was Spiro T Agnew. Agnew resigned on October 10, 1973, after the U.S. Justice Department uncovered widespread evidence of his political corruption, including allegations that his practice of accepting bribes had continued into his tenure as U.S. vice president. Seems to be a prerequisite?
