Eric Hartley: The Brightest Spot at the Capital

He continues to catch CP's eye with his straightforward, thoughtful and cogent editorializing. He is not afraid to interpret the big story behind the news or ruffle feathers. CP has referred readers to Hartley's columns and suggests you check out his latest piece called "Don't hold your breath on crime plan". In another recent piece he asked whether our legislators are afraid to ask some important questions about corporate responsibility. See "crime plan" at: www.hometownannapolis.com/cgi-bin/read/2008/02_10-10/COL

Once you start getting a feel for Hartley's columns, you may want to drop The Capital a line and tell them what you think. He's fairly new and I cannot recall any letters or complains from "above" about him yet. I have an inkling The Capital may be wondering what you think, but I would not be surprised if Mayor Moyer and her spin doctor Ray Weaver are cooking up a letter about him right now--probably in a big, black cauldron.

Eric--if they offer you an early retirement buy-out, you may come write for CP. We'd make a great team and I can guarantee to match my salary.
