 Senator Colburn Reports from Annapolis
Senator Richard F. Colburn (R. Eastern Shore) reported on events that took place this week. Senator Colburn stated, "On Monday night, March 8th, members of the Eastern Shore Delegation and I met with Governor Martin O'Malley on issues specifically pertaining to the Eastern Shore, and particularly the Delmarva Poultry Industry.

 Delegate Haddaway Reports From Annapolis
Child Advocacy Centers Delegate Jeannie Haddaway-Riccio announced this week that she has cosponsored House Bill 1043 which would benefit Child Advocacy Centers in the State of Maryland. Child Advocacy Centers are child-friendly facilities that investigate, diagnose and treat children who may have been abused or neglected. They also provide a platform for law enforcement, prosecutors, departments of social services and mental health professionals to interview child victims, conduct medical examinations and provide therapy. This collaboration helps ensure that children are not re-victimized as they go through the system. There are currently twenty one centers in Maryland including in Talbot, Caroline, Dorchester and Wicomico Counties. More
 Delegate Eckardt Reports From Annapolis
The same sex marriage debate has generated some provocative actions on the part of the elected officials. Historically there has been an Attorney General's opinion regarding same sex marriage which determined that in Maryland, legislative action is required to change that opinion, according to the Maryland Constitution. The current Attorney General has taken a position that overturns the previous historical and current opinion. In response to the usurpation of power of the legislature, an announcement of impeachment has been issued by legislators. The legal counsel for the Attorney General has written an opinion that the Attorney General and other constitutional officers are not impeachable. Clear delineation of powers of the branches of government have been historically honored and upheld until now. This situation is the first time for such blatant intrusion of one branch of government into another. I believe it is important to clearly identify the issues and separate the two related issues-same sex marriage and the blurring of constitutional separation of powers. Various bills on the issue include the following list. More |

Frugalicious
 |
Brenda Stango has opened Frugalicious Consignment Boutique at 21 Harrison Street in downtown Easton, MD. "I've always loved consignment shopping, and a large part of my wardrobe and home furnishings has come from consignment. I felt that Easton could use a more upscale resale shop and that is why I opened Frugalicious Consignment Boutique".
"Frugalicious is a great place to buy designer clothing and accessories for a fraction of the cost" said Stango. We offer "high-end" fashions for men and women by designers such as Armani, Burberry, Fendi, Ferragamo, Prada, St. John, Versace and many more. Many of the items we carry have either been gently used or never been worn and have the original sales tag.
New items are arriving daily. In addition to everyday and vintage clothing there is a nice selection evening wear, handbags, shoes, scarves, and jewelry. Frugalicious offers a layaway plan and wish list, so if you're looking for a specific item, they will notify you as soon as it comes in! New consigners are encouraged to call ahead for an appointment. Open seven days a week. Business Hours are Mon-Fri 10-6 Sat 10-5 Sun 11-3. You can call Frugalicious at 410-822-3355. Website coming soon www.bfrugalicious.com. Ribbon Cutting
