House Republican Whip Cantor speaks at Frederick Dinner by Meg Tully


I attended this dinner with six of my “The Tentacle” colleagues and this was a super event. Ms. Tully has done a great job of capturing it in print. I will post pictures later…

U S House Republican Whip: 'This country needs us' Originally published in the Frederick News-Post April 30, 2009 By Meg Tully News-Post Staff

U.S. House Republican Whip Eric Cantor urged Frederick Republicans to go forward as party leaders and focus on winning the midterm election in 2010.

"This country needs us as a check and a balance on the complete reign of power that is going on in Washington right now," Cantor said.

The Virginia representative spoke to about 240 people gathered for the annual Lincoln-Reagan Dinner at Dutch's Daughter restaurant Wednesday night. The dinner is the biggest fundraiser of the year for the
Frederick County Republican Central Committee.

Speaking about an hour before President Barack Obama held his own news conference in Washington, Cantor called several policies being enacted as divergent from Republican values, including the budget conference report adopted earlier in the day.

Calling the economy the top issue facing the nation, Cantor said Democrats think expanding the government will solve the country's woes.

"We've got our president deciding who to hire and who to fire as CEO of an auto company," Cantor said. "Now where has this country gone if this is where we are?"

[…]

Frederick County Republican Central Committee chairwoman Kelly Schulz was encouraged by Cantor's message.

[…]

Delegate Paul Stull was given the organization's first Lifetime Achievement Award for his work as a member of the central committee and then in the House of Delegates.

Another reason to not mow the yard


Reasons to not mow the yard ...


Mower sparks fire that destroys house [multimedia] By Gina Gallucci-White News-Post Staff Originally published in the Frederick News-Post April 30, 2009

Combustible materials left too close to a warm yard tractor ignited and caused a fire that destroyed a house Wednesday afternoon, according to the Division of Fire and Rescue Services.

Deputy Fire Marshal Ed Ruck estimated damage to the house at 5702 Catoctin View Court and its contents at $400,000.

[…]

The house had to be evacuated twice because the fire compromised the structure and the floor was starting to collapse, Ruck said. Several tankers had to be called because there are no hydrants in the area.

Members of the American Red Cross were called to the scene to assist the residents, he said.

[…]

Frederick News-Post to suspend its Monday edition


FNP to suspend Monday edition

Related: 20090215 MD Senate Republican Caucus Mourning the Examiner

Originally published in the Frederick News-Post February 28, 2009

From Staff Reports

The Frederick News-Post will suspend printing its Monday edition starting in April, a measure the media company's owning family said underscores a commitment to saving jobs and subscribers' budgets.

March 30 will be the last Monday edition for the foreseeable future, said Editor and Publisher Myron Randall. The decision was driven by the effect of a dire economy on the 126-year-old newspaper and will cushion the organization financially over the coming months.

[…]

Monday's content will move to the Sunday and Tuesday editions.

[…]

The Frederick News-Post is the only continuously family-owned independent daily newspaper in Maryland.

Last year the newspaper celebrated its 125th anniversary and a record of never missing a scheduled day of publication.

Frederick News Post Editorial New Credit Card Rules

Frederick News Post Editorial New Credit Card Rules

Originally published in the Frederick News–Post December 23, 2008

Federal officials have moved to protect credit card holders from several common practices employed by companies that issue cards. This has been a long time coming and, unfortunately, won't take effect until July 2010. Some also argue that the new rules don't go far enough in protecting cardholders from unfair and costly practices.

Still, the new rules are a big improvement. Perhaps the most important reform involves interest rates. When the new rules become active, card-issuing companies will no longer be allowed to apply interest rate hikes to existing balances. (There will be some exceptions, such as payments that are more than 30 days late.)
