Delegate Resigns After Authorities Search Home
ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- Delegate Robert A. McKee, chairman of the General Assembly's western Maryland delegation, resigned Friday, releasing a statement saying he has "entered treatment" after investigators searched his home during a child pornography investigation. The FBI's cyber crimes unit will help Washington County authorities analyze materials seized from McKee's home near Hagerstown, an FBI spokesman said Friday. "For me, this is deeply embarrassing," McKee said in a statement faxed to news organizations. "It reflects poorly on my service to the community as a state delegate and as executive director of Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Washington County. Accordingly, I am resigning today from both positions." .
Estes Park works against its residents
Imagine a town government that uses more than 25 percent of its $28 million budget just to pay themselves (highest paying jobs around)! Imagine a government that makes it hard for a common citizen to have access to government public records. Colorado Revised Statutes 24-72-201 through 309 give a Colorado citizen the right to request and receive information about government employee salaries, bonuses and benefits. Imagine a town that passes its own policy on giving public information but jacks the price up to say $60 or $90. The Colorado attorney general and the Larimer County district attorney were contacted about this town doing this in clear violation of CRS 24-72-205 - and no one did anything or wanted to do anything about this violation. Imagine a town that works against its businesses and residents.
Fusco: Football fans get their fix from signing day
When I tried tracking down some further info on ESPNU's recruiting info, its Web site read, “This site is temporarily too busy to process your request. Please try again later." Can't log on over at ESPNU.com? No worries. Web destinations such as Rivals.com and Scout.com are devoted almost entirely to recruiting news – at this time of the year, mainly football. Rivals.com boasts message boards, national team recruiting rankings, lists of the top prospects at each position projected through 2011 and individual biographies of countless high school players. This would all be great if the whole process wasn't an educated guessing game at best and a crapshoot at worst. Recruiting services can't possibly watch in person each and every high school player they “evaluate." Web sites are notorious for granting players better rankings on the basis of which schools are interested.
Rodriguez on WDFN: 'I don't have any snake oil, either'
Yeah, I'm sure he has asked for all the threats to his family and WVU dragging his name through the mud. "and I'm really tired of it." Has somebody kidnapped you and forced you to read about it or post in this forum? Maybe you should e-mail the police so they can rescue you. .
