Kratovil's on the right track - 2009-07-24 10:07:56
Im glad to see that people are supporting Frank. He has shown sound judgment in supporting legislation to build a clean, healthy economic future for Maryland. He recently supported the American Clean Energy and Security Act and the Energy and Water Appropriations bill, securing almost $12 million in extra funding for projects in the area and ensuring Maryland farmers are eligible for $1 billion in financial incentives. Im sure were all glad to see more money and more jobs coming to the region. Thanks Frank!

How about... - 2009-07-23 20:13:49
... reporting on Kratovil's record. I must have missed the Capital's coverage of Mr. Kratovil's votes for the "Hate Crimes" bill and for "Cap and Trade." Now that he knows the Capital will be covering for him, he's probably bold enough to vote for Obama's "Healthcare" bill. How about a little journalism here, hhmmm.
