Saving Rich Hill

[L Verge]

If I am not mistaken, the bond bill was written by Senator Mike Miller (who caught the snafu in the original contract on Rich Hill), who is President of the Maryland State Senate, a Civil War buff, a grandson of the man who donated Surratt House to The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission back in the 1960s, and a Life Member of the Surratt Society. The bill is co-sponsored by State Senator Mac Middleton, who is very popular in Charles County, has been in the State Senate for years, and whose family goes back for generations in the county and Southern Maryland.

In addition, it has popular support from the Charles County Historical Society and from the President of the College of Southern Maryland, himself a Civil War scholar and author. If this bond bill doesn't pass, something's rotten in Denmark.

P.S. I believe that Del. Vallario is head of the state appropriations committee and has been in office as long as I can remember.
