Environmental advocates insist that they are not comparable to watermelons, contrary to an Eastern Shore senator's assertion at a recent legislative hearing.
At a delegation meeting on Feb. 15, Sen. Richard Colburn, R-Cambridge, criticized the "river keepers" who push water quality in Maryland's tributaries and streams. He called them "green on the outside and red or socialist on the inside,” according to a story reported here.
Environmentalist and veterans groups are now demanding an apology.
Colburn voiced his opinion during a discussion about how environmental regulations have slowed a number of projects along the Eastern Shore. This week Colburn said he had not been contacted by representatives from either camp.
“I’ll certainly address any correspondence that they may have, addressing their concerns if and when I receive it,” Colburn said Wednesday. “If I were to ask you for an apology or you were to ask me, I think that in a civil matter, you would do it formally. I guess they put out a press release. But I’ve received nothing from them.”

People want to demonize those that disagree instead of debating the core issue.
It is the stated goal of loons like Mike Pretl, River Keepers, WET, the OC crazy lady, and other far left progressive groups to not only chase Perdue away from the Eastern Shore, but eliminate private property rights. These people actually think that if you ANY land along a body of water in Maryland, they should have unlimited access to it. Colburn, love him or hate him, is dead nuts on in his assertion. These progressive loons need to be ran out of town on a rail.
Apologize for being right?
Name calling just shows you have nothing, of substance, to say.
