A Letter To The Editor

Sir,    I am writing to you today and beg of you to clear up statements made by Delagate Mike McDormett in regards to hb 594. In your blog he stated  """ The only opposition was from, of course, two registered sex offenders. Of course, they painted themselves as "victims" and did not feel this approach was needed.""   I must inform you that there was in fact 6 speakers that day against the bill. 2 R.S.O.'s , 1 Family Member , 1 FAIR Member , 1  A.C.L.U. and the Public Defenders Office. And not only is this a Budget matter , but also a Clear Violation of not only U.S. , but also Md. Constitution Law against EX-POST-FACTO Clause. As Mike is making this Law retroactive to include possibly thousands of offenders who have been off P.P. for years and have never ran into Legal problems since. As we all know once a Police Officer and or Politician loses their  CREDIBILITY they are no good for nobody and it is clear if anyone should know this rule. Mike should know it first hand being as he is both and he admit to his wrongs and make it right by stepping down and issuing a apology to all involved. I would hope that you will do right in correcting the statement in your blog and hopefully allow FAIR to issue a statement in your blog.If you allow FAIR to comment , I can assist you in contacting the person in charge.    Sincerely ,    Marc Friend Sr.
