Harris faces report of underage drinking by intern

Rep. Andy Harris came under fire Tuesday for an incident last summer in which an underage intern was allowed to drink alcohol at a farewell party on a veranda of the U.S. Capitol.

A spokesman for Harris, Ryan Nawrocki, confirmed that the party took place but said aides in the office did not realize the intern, a senior in college, was under 21. When the incident was brought to light, Harris, a Republican, disciplined his chief of staff, Kevin Reigrut, though Nawrocki would not say what action was taken.

“When [Harris] found out about the incident … he made it very clear that no alcohol was to be consumed in any of his offices, period,” Nawrocki said. “There was immediate and appropriate disciplinary action taken.”

Reigrut could not be reached for comment. ... http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/politics/blog/bal-harris-faces-report-of-underage-drinking-by-intern-20120103,0,5451809.story

Maryland General Assembly Republicans File Taxpayer Protection Act

Bill will require 3/5ths Majority in General Assembly to Raise Taxes

Annapolis –This week, Senator Andy Harris (R-7) and Delegate Steve Schuh (R-31), with joint support from the Republican Caucuses in the State Senate and House of Delegates, introduced the "Taxpayer Protection Act". The bill numbers are SB 747 and HB 684.

This exciting piece of legislation would require a 60% vote in each chamber to raise existing taxes or create new ones. It is important to note that the damaging tax increases passed during the 2007 Special Session did not receive such a majority. Had this legislation been in place, Maryland's economy would be better off today.

"Once again, the Republicans in the Maryland General Assembly have shown their dedication and commitment to the hard-working taxpayers of Maryland,” stated Chairman Pelura. “Governor O’Malley is dangerously relying on bailout money from the federal government to balance his budget. When that dries up, he’ll be coming back to the taxpayers to demand more from them.”

Pelura continued, "I urge all Marylanders to call their state senators and delegates and tell them to support this legislation to stop Governor O'Malley and his Democrats allies in the General Assembly from taking any more of our hard-earned dollars."

The No BS Zone: Cecil County Paper Endorses Frank Kratovil

Stevensville, MD - Today, Queen Anne’s County State’s Attorney and Democratic candidate for Congress in Maryland’s First Congressional District, Frank Kratovil, received the endorsement of the Cecil Whig Newspaper.

The Cecil Whig praised Kratovil’s grasp of the issues affecting the First District and his ability to build consensus saying, “Agricultural concerns are a top priority. The poultry and seafood industry is vital to this part of Maryland. And environmental worries, especially saving the unique ecology of the Chesapeake Bay while at the same time balancing the needs of the agriculture, poultry and seafood industry, require a congressman capable of building a consensus among competing interests. We think Kratovil will be better able to fulfill that role."
