Paula Carmody Represents Arrogance We Have Come to Expect from Maryland Office of People’s Counsel

Paula M. Carmody, the head of the Maryland Office of People’s Counsel, has written a letter to the Baltimore Sun to protest recent coverage by business writer Jay Hancock and the paper in general.  Carmody complains that the paper is paying more attention to the PR arm of Constellation than they pay attention to the evidentiary record.  Well, that is quite understandable, given Carmody’s comment that, “OPC does not have the funds, time or inclination to run a public relations campaign in the print media, on the radio and through an Internet petition campaign in an attempt to sway public opinion.”  Yes, because it is obviously a mistake to think that the Office of People’s Counsel would actually communicate with the People they claim to represent.
