From Sen. J.B. Jennings: With all of the political strife these days over partisan political agendas, it is easy to lose faith in our elected officials and in our government.

DeLong: “Remember This – When the Politicians All Agree that Something is ‘Good for You,’ Hold onto Your Wallet”
From Scott DeLong: Dear Editor, Public Private Partnerships are Socialism What do Harford County Government, Maryland State Government, and Obama Administration have in common?

From Delegate Kathy Szeliga: I’m disappointed with the failed leadership in Annapolis that will most likely force the legislature back for a Special Session.
