You Pay, They Party (Part 2) – MoCo Delegate Wilkins Enjoys a Fun Time at Preakness (Cost to Taxpayers TBD)
The 149th running of the Preakness Stakes occurred this past Saturday and of course the state’s machine political establishment used the occasion to flaunt their wealth and “status” to the rest of us hoi polloi, as well as the nation.

MOVE Away From This Type of Legislation
According to my count, Adam Smith’s Wealth of Nations spans 360,586 words, or about 1,088 pages in a 12-point font.
