This Week

[OnBackground]

The Bowie Blade has some <a href="http://www.bowieblade.com/vault/cgi-bin/bowie/view/2005B/05/26-33.HTM">choice</a> words for Jack Johnson's police department in a column that gives probable County Exec challenger and former Delegate Rushern Baker a lot of ink.

And Baker was on State Circle <a href="http://www.mpt.org/statecircle/">attacking</a> local leadership.

Another silly name for an association has been discovered: Maryland Business for Responsive Government, a group whose president said this week on <a href="http://www.wamu.org/programs/kn/05/05/25.php">WAMU</a> that there shouldn't be a minimum wage. Let's just call them the hard right chamber of commerce and get on with the a discussion of public policy among reasonable people.
