Did Delegate Adrienne A. Jones (D) District 10, Baltimore County, the current Speaker Pro Tem of the Maryland House of Delegates, thumb her nose at a subpoena…?

Jones stays home, but state attorney follows case to Pennsylvania
Former Ehrlich appointee ordered to testify for legislative committee

Baltimore County Del. Adrienne Jones was called to testify this morning in a York County, Pa., court by lawyers for a former political appointee of Republican former Gov. Robert Ehrlich.
But Dan Friedman, an assistant attorney general and counsel to the Maryland state legislature, said he advised Jones not to attend the hearing.
Instead, Friedman himself went to the York County courtroom, and was present when a Pennsylvania judge ordered Craig Chesek, a former state appointee under Ehrlich, to submit to be interviewed under oath by representatives of a Maryland Legislative Committee.
Meanwhile, Jones was at Chesapeake High School Thursday morning for a presentation of citations to county education leaders.
Friedman said Thursday afternoon “to say Del. Jones thumbed her nose at a subpoena is not fair to Del. Jones.”
Jones, a Democrat and co-chairwoman of the Special Committee on Employee Rights and Protections, was subpoenaed by a lawyer representing Chesek, a former state Public Service Commission employee. The committee formed in 2005 to look into alleged political firings after Ehrlich took office.
The subpoena came after Jones’ committee filed suit earlier this year in Pennsylvania in an attempt to force Chesek to return to Maryland to answer questions about alleged political firings of state employees after Ehrlich took office.
