MD Tower of Babel
The Baltimore Sun reports that the Maryland Legislature is poised to "require all state agencies to provide interpreters and to translate their vital documents into any language spoken by 3 percent of the population served by that agency." The cost? A mere " $290,200 next year, and a total of $2.6 million after five years." This figure is bound to be low.
The owner of the Baltimore Orioles, Peter Angelos, made his millions from asbestos-related lawsuits. He then turned to suing tobacco companies. Just wait till he finds out how much money he can make suing over inaccurate or unclear translations!
