From trials to trash
He promised he'd be tough on polluters and that he'd work hard to clean up the Chesapeake Bay, and now our attorney general is rolling up his sleeves to do just that.
On Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon, Douglas Gansler -- a man who gained some measure of fame when the snipers were running around Montgomery County -- will be leading volunteers in an effort to clean up Middle Branch Park.
More than 100 of his employees will be helping, too.
My guess is they'll be there well into the afternoon. Last time I was there, foolishly thinking it was a pleasant place to take a walk, that park was strewn with all manner of trash.
I report on the environment and Chesapeake Bay. A native of West Virginia, I have focused mainly on Maryland's environment since moving here in 1983. Along the way, I've crewed aboard a skipjack in the bay, canoed under city streets up the Jones Fall from the Inner Harbor, and gone deep underground in a western Maryland coal mine. Recently, I have been covering the growth and development transforming the landscape. I love seafood, rambles in the country and good stories. I hope to share some here.

I'm glad to hear that Mr. Gansler is out there cleaning up. If you see him, please extend an invitation from me to clean up my garage once he's done at the park.
