When I leave NewYork City I will be moving to a city that has passed similar ordinances.

Md. city of Taneytown declares English official language!
Posted on Tuesday, November 14 @ 17:17:48 UTC
Taneytown council calls for business in one language Taneytown became the first municipality in Maryland to pass a resolution declaring English its official language but stopped short last night of a proposed change to the city charter that had drawn criticism from civil rights groups and some residents.

Had the charter been amended, "you're stuck with it," he said.
