Mr. Lampmann did not speak last night at the Caroline County Board of Supervisor’s public hearing for the proposed mine at Black Marsh Farm. I don’t think it mattered because his goose was pretty well cooked after he spoke at the Planning Commission meeting against the proposal. I don’t think he has a chance. Ms. Ransone should get it.

and to my old friend Bob Lindsey, who I worked with many moons ago on a campaign.. we can’t have a good Dem in every seat, so we might as well have a mediocre Republican. Hope you are well, Bob!!!

Lampmann has 0 zero chance of winning the primary. The young lady, Mrs. Ransone is the “least” radical of the three. (She supported Albert Pollard financially, having dontated to his past campaigns) She seems to be at the very least, liberal on (some) environmental issues. Since the Dem, Mr.Smith, cannot win either, at least we have a “small c” conservative that will win the seat.

Thanks for your opinion on Lampmann. Have made any assessments of the other two GOP candidates? Which is least likely to be a tire-biting right wing radical?

You’re incorrect on the definition of an H1B visa. Its a NON-immigrant visa, granting permission to work in the US for a specialty position. The tech industry makes big use of these visas. At first I thought that they were all used in an abusive manner – underpaying the guest worker compared to US workers or depriving US workers of jobs. However with the lack of interest in US higher education for computer science degrees and technology in general the H1B visa is the saving grace of the tech industry. These *are* the people we want to encourage to immigrate to the US. They are hard workers, have degrees, and bring a lot of useful skills to the table.

I am a technology professional and I know a few relevant facts about my industry: its hard to find qualified tech employees, its very easy for me as a tech professional to find a job (demand for workers is very high), and the H1B visa candidates I work with/have worked with vary from good to exceptional quality.
