Democratic Party activist Penny McCrimmon’s email that was included in a previous post on Cardin staffers working with union and ACORN activists to turn out people to tonight’s town hall included this line:

A Republican Friend (who says the Republicans just don’t get it) told me that the few Republican Legislators that we have in the State are sponsoring the “Tea-Baggers” by paying for their transportation to this event.

A message sent to the Friends of Allan Kittleman group on Facebook would indicate that the passengers are paying their own way to the event. That directly contradicts what McCrimmon claimed.

Subject: Towson Town Hall

Karen Winterling is organizing an Eyre Bus to go to the Towson Town Center for Ben Cardin’s Town Hall, this Monday evening 5:15 to 9:00ish.

We will be leaving from the Long Gate Park & Ride, right next to Long-Gate Shopping Center. We would love for you to come.

The cost of the trip will be approximately 10.00 -14.00 per person., depending on how full the bus is.

This way no one will have to worry about the drive, cost of fuel, parking or anything else!!

For more info please email Karen at dgapres@comcast.net

UPDATE: Another link with information on bus rides from the same location says passengers will be charged $15.
