Things can change quickly here in Annapolis, as anyone in computer services can tell you.
Here’s just one example: I came to the state house one day during last year’s special session. I was expecting to hear debate on a proposed expansion of the state sales tax to massages, health clubs and property management. But I left at night having written a story about how the target shifted to computer services, arcades and landscaping (the latter two were dropped).
There were lots of complaints about the window that members of the public had to give input during the special session. That underscores an important point: if you’re in business and you’re watching the legislature, the most valuable information is the timeliest information.
That’s why we at The Daily Record are launching our Eye on Annapolis blog. This post will kick off the most up-to-the-minute coverage we can offer. It will allow you to see what we’re working on, to catch some tidbits that don’t make it into stories, and to talk back to us about what is important to you. After all, we’re here to share information with our readers.
Also look out for other staff bloggers who will chip in to add depth and color to our coverage of Maryland’s capital.
