Review
There were a lot of the same quotes used from the State of the State Address as in other articles in the same time frame. However, backing into the story from an economic viewpoint was a nice change. It makes the reader think, ask questions. At first I was unsure about mentioning the funds for public education, but as I read on I saw that the author used that as something of a transition into how Maryland lawmakers are "raiding the Chesapeake Bay Restoration Fund."

Megan, I enjoyed reading all of your reviews. Nice observations! You found a nice range of sources, too. I really appreciate here that you told us what was the same—and what wasn’t—about this story versus similar stories on the same subject.
