Md. Senator Wants Law Clinic To Support Farmers

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) - State Sen. Richard Colburn says funding for the embattled University of Maryland environmental law clinic should be used to create a similar program at the University of Baltimore School of Law that would represent farmers.

The proposal from Colburn, a Dorchester County Republican, is a rebuke to the school's attempt to sue owners of a Worcester County chicken farm for polluting a nearby waterway. It was approved by a Senate subcommittee Monday afternoon.

The move would transfer $500,000 from the law clinic's lobby shop to establish an agricultural law clinic at UB.

I think I'm going to puke. We are already paying the farmers not to farm, paying independant companies to evaluate nutrients used on the land so lets give them free lawyers-why not!

Hey 6:29 How did we ever survive without govt. paying for everyone to do nothing. Let everyone pay their own way. Alot of these old farmers around here could buy and sell most of us. We are tired of footing the bill. Knock yourself out-write a check.
