How Big Labor screwed Maryland. Will Marylanders every wake up? This is likely a boon to Delaware. They have been cited as the fallback spot for Wal-Mart's distribution center. Sadly the Eastern Shore will continue to suffer and wallow in poverty and joblessness. Other big businesses have surely kept an eye on this fiasco and will steer well clear of Maryland.
Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project
Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project . Thank God they're going after this guy. He's been so brazen with his porkbarreling and the whiff of corruption around him has been ripe enough to smell from here. I'd rather have a 100% democrat run Congress if they were ethical. Term limits. One term for Senate, two for the House, one for the President. Some fear that would increase the power of lobbyists. Simple, ban any former members from being lobbyists and limit lobbyists to terms as well. (I'm not sure how that would work. Just a thought.) The other answer is transparency. No earmarks without a floor vote. No spending of any kind without a floor vote. All spending committees (intelligence aside) open to the public and recorded and available on the web.
