SUN Editorial: The good steward

IT'S BAD form to mock the newly converted, no matter how self-serving their motivations. So we are just happy to hear that Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. and his fellow Republicans in Annapolis have seen the light. They now support a constitutional amendment to limit the Board of Public Works' power to sell state-owned parkland. Well, hallelujah. Anything that can prevent another debacle like the Ehrlich administration's attempt to sell 836 acres of environmentally sensitive land in St. Mary's County to developer Willard Hackerman is good news.
