Harris Stalls Bay Improvement

      Representative Andy Harris wants to have a "study" of the health of the Chesapeake Bay. I'm sure "Wait until we're done studying before we regulate" will become "Malpractice Andy's" environmental bugle call for years.
If Harris had been paying attention for the last thirty years, he wouldn't need another study. But he's been too busy making money, and supporting the Republican party as it has chiseled away at the responsibilities of wealthy citizens and corporations to support our government, and the nation that has enabled them to prosper so. Meanwhile, his constituents have been working more and paying more, and keeping less.
       Now Andy claims to represent the Bay and all of us. He governs with the House Republicans, the party that took "Greed is good." from 80s movie cliché to sacred national motto. Many of us voters have been privileged to earn our living from the Bay, directly or indirectly. Too bad the Bay is but a cheap backdrop for Andy Harris' campaigns. He was done with the Chesapeake and done with us, before he took his oath. "Malpractice Andy" may have a district on the Chesapeake, but his constituents - the ones signing the biggest checks - they're nowhere in sight.
