This is a bit dated, but thanks to my brother-in-law for the head's-up.
Martin O'Malley recently received an award from the Biotechnology Industry Organization, an award he accepted in Chicago. The award is dubbed the Bio Governor of the Year Award. Initially the article on WJZ.com states that O'Malley was nominated for this award for his support for the biotechnology industry in Maryland. However, later in the article, Mary Bubala, a purported HUGE O'Malley supporter, says that O'Malley received the award for: "moving Maryland's bio-science industry forward."
It's amazing that we can award a fiscally irresponsible governor for mastering rhetoric.
I'm glad that Maryland is promoting biotechnology in our state. But I'm not sure why the government is supporting and funding this. This is a private industry that should be supported by venture capitalists, not government bureaucrats. But that's Maryland for you - the state government that wants to provide everything for it's citizens, regardless of the costs or consequences.
Where is the common sense in Maryland? It's certainly not in Annapolis.
