So What?

With all of the problems with schools, taxes, and crime in the state of Maryland, can somebody explain the obsession of some with the absolute minutaie of the Ehrlich Administration?

First, it was the Governor's Personnel Practices, which will finally come to a head on Monday with the begenning of the General Assembly's Kangaroo Court proceedings. Now, the consternation is over the Governor's golf game.

Rightfully so, the administration has not provided Common Cause the names of the Governor's golf partners as of yet. Nor should they. There has been no allegations of wrong-doing leveled at the Governor in this matter. This is completely unlike the Bob Taft situation in Ohio, where Taft's no contest plea was just the latest act in a series of long running corruption investigations in the Buckeye State.

Here, Common Cause is merely piling on to the multitude of other baseless allegations that have been lobbied against the Ehrlich Administration. I wish those worried about such things would work on real solutions to real problems instead.
