Name the Blog!

We are looking for your input on the name of this blog. 

When we started it, I decided to call it “Maryland Budget Items.” I thought this was a particularly clever choice, because “items” refers to news items as well as line items in a budget. 

I've heard from some people, however, who do not love this name like I do.

Okay, I can take it. And maybe we can do better? So...

I’m asking you to suggest a new name. In fact, we’re holding a contest! The winner will get not only satisfaction, but a few freebies... a good thing in this economy! 

Of course, you might vote to keep the blog title the same... if “Maryland Budget Items” wins, we'll draw one of your names out of a hat. Either way, the winner* gets lunch with me at a trendy spot in Federal Hill or beautiful Annapolis, and a keepsake mug (*unless you’re a state elected official; then we can’t give you anything because of the ethics laws, and the prize will go to the runner-up).

We’ll accept your nominations through December 9, and then we’ll send you instructions on how to vote. To suggest a name, simply comment to this blog post (or email me if you're shy).

Thank you!
