State Sen. Jamie Raskin fires the opening salvo in this year's fight for a Maryland False Claims Act
The Maryland legislature has failed to pass a Maryland False Claims Act in each of the last two legislative sessions. Each time, the bill failed by a single vote in the state Senate.
This year will be different. We have a bona fide champion in the Maryland state Senate for the first time—state Sen. Jamie Raskin, who fired the opening salvo yesterday.
Although Gov. O'Malley strongly supported the bill last time around, what we lacked was a true champion in the legislature. Raskin—who many see as a strong future candidate for Attorney General—is just the man for the job.
Stay tuned....
