In 2015, Former Gov. Larry Hogan made the controversial decision to cancel the Red Line. The state had already spent $300 million developing the east-west transit project. Calling it a “boondoggle,” Hogan returned $900 million to the federal government and spent the state portion of Red Line funds on roads in rural jurisdictions. Hogan was one of a group of governors to cancel federally funded mass transit projects. But now there is a new governor in office. Gov. Wes Moore called Hogan's decision “almost disqualifiable,” and earlier this month, Moore acted on a campaign promise to revive the Red Line with a high profile announcement and an injection of urgency. So, what will a reimagined Red Line look like? Midday's guests for today's transportation discussion are Brian O'Malley, the President and CEO of the Central Maryland Transportation Alliance, Audrey McFarlane, the Dean Julius Isaacson Professor of Law at the University of Baltimore School of Law and Pamela Wood, who covers state politics for our news partner, the Baltimore Banner.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Tom's next guests are Dr. Mileah Kromer, the director of the Sarah T. Hughes Center for Politics at Goucher College, and Pamela Wood, who covers state politics for The Baltimore Banner, a WYPR news partner. The Banner and the Hughes Center have released a poll surveying Maryland residents about a wide range of issues, including their feelings about Gov. Wes Moore's performance in his first 100 days in office. Tom's guests discuss some of the key findings. They also discuss the retirement of one of the longest-serving members of the U.S. Congress from Maryland. Yesterday, Sen. Ben Cardin announced he would not seek re-election to the U.S. Senate in 2024. The speculation about who may seek to succeed him has begun.Dr. Mileah Kromer joins Tom in Studio A.

Gather ‘round, dear listeners, for a devastating tale! A nugget of pure comedy gold has, sadly, been lost forever. You see, two months ago, one of our Patrons suggested that we do something fun for our upcoming April Fools' Day episode. He cited that thing that Michael Che and Colin Jost do when they swap jokes on SNL. He suggested we do something similar – why not write scripts for the other person to read? Kristin loooooved the idea. Brandi did not. Kristin, (brilliant goddess that she is) thought that if *she* handled the execution of this fabulous idea, she could get Brandi on board and we'd all revel in a comedic wonder. So, she quietly wrote up a script for Brandi to read. Then, she formatted it into cue cards. When it came time to record, Kristin presented Brandi with the script. And Brandi was like… hell no, I'm not reading that. (Was it because the script contained a few tangents about her unwavering crush on Dr. Phil? The world may never know!) So, yeah, umm… that script will never see the light of day. …but we do have *one* story to tell you: When Lonnie Paye didn't return his girlfriend's phone calls, she became concerned. Had she done something to upset him? Was he just busy? Days passed, and eventually, she called the police. When they arrived at Lonnie's upscale home, they discovered that she'd been right to be concerned. Lonnie's body was on the floor of his garage. He'd been shot multiple times. Lonnie's family was shocked by his death, but gave investigators a few leads. Lonnie had a rocky relationship with the mother of his infant son. Could she have done something? He also had some business relationships that might have gone sour. Perhaps that was to blame. And now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases. In this episode, Kristin pulled from: 100% real life In this episode, Brandi pulled from: |“Deidra Griffin” episode Snapped “Deidra Griffin v. State of Maryland” mdcourts.gov “Michigan woman jailed in Bay County on Maryland murder charge; extradition hearing set” by Cole Waterman, mlive.com “Trial begins for Michigan woman accused of killing ex-boyfriend in Randallstown” by Alison Knezevich, The Baltimore Sun “Michigan woman gets 60 years for murder of ex in Baltimore County” by Pamela Wood, The Baltimore Sun YOU'RE STILL READING?

The 2023 MD General Assembly is in its final two weeks. Today on Midday on Politics, an update on how various bills are faring as they wind their way through the legislative session that concludes with Sine Die on April 10. We begin with Del. Jheanelle Wilkins, who represents District 20 (Montgomery County). She's a Democrat and since last year has served as the chair of the Legislative Black Caucus. Del. Wilkins joins us on Zoom. Then, Tom speaks with two reporters who have covered more than a few legislative sessions, including the current one. Matt Bush is WYPR's news director. Pamela Wood covers state politics and government for our news partner, The Baltimore Banner. Matt joins Tom in Studio A, and Pamela joins us on Zoom to discuss the status of major pieces of legislation as the General Assembly enters its final two weeks.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
If you live in Richmond or Annapolis, you can undoubtedly feel it in the air: the buzz of the 2023 legislative session. Maryland Democrats will enjoy having an ally in the governor's mansion for the first time in eight years, along with control of both chambers of the general assembly. And while Virginia has a Republican governor and House of Delegates, the Democrat-controlled Senate could put a wrench in their priorities. What should we expect from the legislative sessions? We talk with WAMU's Northern Virginia reporter Margaret Barthel and the Baltimore Banner's Pamela Wood. Then, on to local politics in Prince George's County, where Thomas Dernoga (D-District 1) is getting comfortable as county council chair. We talk with Dernoga about his priorities for the year ahead, including affordable housing and open government. Plus, the county council looks much different than it did in the past. What's it like working with the freshman lawmakers?

Mobile sports betting has arrived in Maryland. On November 23rd — just in time for the Thanksgiving onslaught of football and the World Cup — Marylanders were allowed to place wagers on their phones. In these early weeks of legalized mobile betting, from TV to Twitter, we have been bombarded with ads trying to entice us to register with one or more of seven “sportsbooks,” as the betting apps are called, which will enable us to bet on all manner of things related to professional and some other sports. Three more state-approved sportsbooks are on the way soon. Today on Midday, a conversation about what sports betting means for Maryland, what the experience of other states has been, and what worries those who treat people with gambling addictions. According to the website Gaming Today, in most markets, more than 70% of sports betting is done online. In some states, such as New York and New Jersey, that percentage rises to 90%. And the amount of money being wagered is astonishing. Last January, the first month that mobile betting was allowed in New York, $1.7 billion dollars was wagered on sporting events. Tom's first guest is Pamela Wood, who covers Maryland politics and has reported on the state's gaming boom for our news partner, the Baltimore Banner. Pamela Wood joins us on our digital line. Then, Tom is joined on Zoom by Bennett Conlin, a writer who covers sports betting for the SportsHandle and US Bets online sites. He gives us an overview of how mobile betting is working in nearby states, some of which started their mobile betting programs a while ago. Later in the program, Tom speaks with Rob White, a licensed clinical professional counselor and director of the Maryland Center of Excellence on Problem Gambling at the University of Maryland School of Medicine about his concerns with making gambling so easy and accessible. Mr. White joins us on Zoom.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
It's Midday on Politics. Tom's first guest today is Heather Mizeur. She is a former delegate from Montgomery County in the Maryland General Assembly. For the past several years, she and her wife have lived on a farm near Chestertown. In 2014, she ran for governor, losing to Anthony Brown in the Democratic primary. And this year, she ran for the US Congress in the first district, against the incumbent Republican Rep. Andy Harris. Harris prevailed in that race, as he has on 6 previous occasions. Harris won by a large margin, drawing 56.7% of the vote to Mizeur's 40.8%, according to the MD State Board of Elections' unofficial results as of Friday (11/11). That margin is about the same as the one Democrat Jesse Colvin lost by in 2018, the last midterm challenge to Harris. But Heather Mizeur mounted a vigorous and broad-based campaign in the heavily Republican district. She raised more money than Rep. Harris, and she actively engaged his supporters. We've invited Mizeur to join us today to reflect on the campaign, and the lessons that she learned, and the lessons that we all can learn. Heather Mizeur joins us on Zoom from Chestertown. Later in the hour, Tom speaks with Pamela Wood, who covers politics and government for WYPR's partner news organization, the Baltimore Banner, about the transition between MD Gov. Larry Hogan's administration and the incoming administration of Governor-elect Wes Moore. Pamela Wood joins us on Zoom. Then, we take a look at the latest developments in the epic battle to retain or acquire a majority in the US Congress. Tom's final guest today is Theo Meyer, a national political reporter with the Washington Post, and co-author of the Early 202 newsletter. Theo Meyer joins us on our digital line from Washington, DC.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Producer/Host: Natalie Springuel Coastal Conversations: Conversations with people who live, work, and play on the Maine coast, hosted by the University of Maine Sea Grant Program. This month: The town of Eastport, Maine, has weathered many changes in the last decades, transitioning from empty sardine factories to a vibrant multi-use working waterfront positioned to respond and adapt to an uncertain future. This month we feature two stories from Maine's easternmost town: “Eastport: Reinventing a Waterfront,” a recent episode on the From the Sea Up podcast, and “The Drama of Eastport Tides,” an older (2017) but timeless episode from the Salts and Water podcast. Our first is called “Eastport: Reinventing a Waterfront.” In the far eastern corner of Downeast Maine there's a 3.7 square mile island. Connected to the mainland by a causeway and road that passes through the Pleasant Point Passamaquoddy Reservation, Sipayik, this island is home to the town of Eastport, population 1,300. Once the most prominent sardine canning village along the coast, Eastport's last sardine factory closed in 1983. With that, a century-long industry was gone. In this episode we learn how Eastport has transitioned from a waterfront of empty factories to a vibrant multi-use working waterfront positioned to respond and adapt to a very uncertain future. This story is brought to you by our radio storytelling friend Galen Koch, whose podcast series, From the Sea Up, has been featured on Coastal Conversations before. Galen brings the past and present together to help us make sense of Maine's complicated future. This is the first in a working waterfront series we will keep sharing over the next few months.

Learn why incredible natural feature exists and visit one of the largest confluences of whirlpools in the world. Hear from the Salts—people with deep connections to the sea, whose lives are shaped by this natural wonder. This story was pulled out of the Coastal Conversations archives, from 2017, when well-known New England audio storyteller Rob Rosenthal partnered up with an initiative called Experience Maritime Maine to produce the Salts and Water podcast.

Early voting in Maryland begins tomorrow. The Elections Project at the University of Florida reports that in states where early voting has already started, turnout is high. What will that mean in key battleground states like Georgia, Ohio, Arizona and Pennsylvania? What does it portend here in Maryland, in statewide races for Governor, Attorney General and Comptroller? A little later in the program, Tom's guest will be Aruna Miller, a former Delegate and Democratic running mate for Lt. Governor with her party's gubernatorial nominee, Wes Moore. But we begin today with Pamela Wood, a colleague at our partner news organization, The Baltimore Banner, where she covers Maryland politics and government.

Yesterday, Attorney General Merrick Garland addressed for the first time the court-approved search that was conducted at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago club on Monday. He spoke for two minutes and did not take any questions from reporters. The Attorney General announced that he had personally approved the decision to seek a search warrant in this matter. The New York Times reports that according to three unnamed sources, Mr. Trump had received a subpoena last spring asking for documents that Trump had improperly removed from the White House. Regarding the search, Garland said this:“... The department does not take such a decision lightly. Where possible, it is standard practice to seek less intrusive means as an alternative to a search and to narrowly scope any search that is undertaken." As to what the DOJ was looking for when they executed the warrant, Mr. Garland said: “Much of our work is by necessity conducted out of the public eye. We do that to protect the constitutional rights of all Americans and to protect the integrity of our investigations. Federal law, longstanding department rules, and our ethical obligations prevent me from providing further details as to the basis of the search at this time.” Garland announced that he had petitioned a federal court in Florida to unseal the search warrant and supporting documents in this case, if Mr. Trump agreed to their release. Late last night, Mr. Trump said he would allow it, and in fact, he encouraged their release. Today on Midday, a Reporter's Notebook about some of the local stories that are top of mind this week.

Votes from the primary election are still being counted, but the trend lines are so clear that Democrat Wes Moore claimed victory in the race to carry his party's banner in the race for governor. He drew a sharp contrast between himself and Republican nominee Dan Cox, saying, "It's a choice between unity and division. It's a choice between a future built on hope and optimism versus a future built on cynical policies of conspiracy theories and fear.” Baltimore Banner politics reporter Pamela Wood joins us to talk about the dynamics behind who won and who lost, and how things are shaping up for the November election. Plus, we ask former Lieutenant Gov. Michael Steele, a Republican, about where his party is heading in the Free State.

The history of this tough profession and the transition it underwent when "modern nursing" was brought to New Zealand via English expat nurses, has been captured in a new book called New Zealand Nurses: Caring for our people 1880 - 1950 by Pamela Wood. It looks at how New Zealand developed its own distinct 'Kiwi' nursing culture - and is stacked with the words of the nurses themselves - sometimes sad, often times matter-of-fact and many times, downright funny. Kathryn talks to her about New Zealand became the first country to have not only a chief nurse, but a specific Nurses Registration Act, an enfranchised nursing workforce and an eight-hour day for nurses in training.

The horrific slaying of Dominique Foster led to a weeks-long search for her killer. Police found the 43-year-old’s body hidden near a dumpster on May 12, missing a head, as well as hands, arms and lower legs.Foster’s own father, Lawrence Banks, is charged in her death. The 65-year-old Baltimore man was previously convicted of killing his son and another man. According to Foster’s husband and court records, Banks allegedly abused his daughter as a child, threw her through a window as an infant and continued to engage with sexual behavior with her as an adult.How did Banks avoid longer punishment and, after further accusations of violence, end up reconnecting with his daughter? In this episode, Baltimore Sun police reporter Jessica Anderson joins Newsroom Edition host Pamela Wood to retrace her reporting and research into the suspect’s past. **WARNING: Content may be explicit for some listeners.
On the surface, former Baltimore Police Sgt. Wayne Jenkins appeared to have earned his reputation as a rising star in the department for his unparalleled ability to get guns off the streets. But a deep dive into Jenkins and the force in which he operated reveals how the well-regarded cop — and the elite Gun Trace Task Force squad he led — manipulated the criminal justice system to rob and steal with impunity over the course of several years.

Welcome to summer in Maryland, where crab is king. Last year, the state’s popular crustacean industry suffered as nearly half of Maryland’s crab houses were unable to secure enough H2-B visas for foreign workers, whom they rely on to pick the meat sold at restaurants and supermarkets. Some reported revenue decreases of 50 percent or more.But this year’s crab market appears to be in better shape, as the Trump administration made 30,000 additional visas available for the temporary labor program. While Maryland’s crab proprietors say they feel confident about this summer’s crab yield, they’re concerned about what the future holds for their businesses, as the demand for temporary worker visas continues to surge.On today’s episode: Baltimore Sun weather, science and environment reporter Scott Dance joins Newsroom Edition host Pamela Wood for a wide-ranging discussion about the future of Maryland crabs, the state of their habitat in the Chesapeake Bay and what you need to know before hosting your own cookout.
Call it beginner’s luck, but rookie Lamar Jackson’s record-breaking 2018 season left the Ravens management wanting more. So much more, in fact, that they traded veteran quarterback Joe Flacco for a fourth-round NFL draft pick and did not play him after he recovered from his week 9 hip injury — a decision that many criticized during the infamous Wild Card Round playoff game against the Los Angeles Chargers, which ended in a 23-17 defeat. With Flacco’s departure, the team has vowed to head in a “new direction,” with Jackson at the helm. Outside of the Ravens’ administration, not everyone is as confident in this rebranding effort or Jackson’s ability to carry an offense — much less get through a game without fumbling. However, the team’s management, now headed by new general manager Eric DeCosta, is sticking by its decision.Ravens beat reporter Jonas Shaffer joins Roughly Speaking host Pamela Wood to discuss the Ravens’ big gamble on Lamar Jackson and other important decisions that the team has made as it enters the 2019 season.

Many woke up Thursday to the news that federal law enforcement agents had raided multiple locations in Baltimore with ties to Mayor Catherine Pugh, who has been on a leave of absence as mayor for the past four weeks. The raids confirmed that federal as well as state officials were investigating Pugh’s activities. Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, all members of the Baltimore City Council and several other state officials have called for Pugh’s resignation. Her attorney, Steve Silverman said she was not “lucid” enough to make a decision about stepping down. But that could change by next week, he said.On this episode: Baltimore Sun politics reporters Pamela Wood and Luke Broadwater break down this week’s dramatic crescendo and what pieces of information have yet to come to light.
On April 27, 2015, the day of Freddie Gray’s funeral in Baltimore, police and youth clashed near the Mondawmin metro stop in a skirmish that would thrust the city into the international spotlight. For four years, police, youth and others there that day has shared their version of events, leaving unanswered questions. Who, in reality, initiated the confrontation? And who was responsible for shutting down the transit service that day, a decision that left many high school students stranded in the center of the clashes?Baltimore Sun reporter Kevin Rector has sought to review surveillance footage from that day to paint a clearer picture. The Maryland Transit Administration continues to deny that request. But for the first time, the MTA has released records related to the April 2015 unrest that provide new insights, and revive old questions, about one of the most controversial and consequential moments in Baltimore’s history. Rector sits down with Roughly Speaking host Pamela Wood to discuss the findings and provide insight into a four-year-long hunt for surveillance video that he and many others believe they are entitled to view.

It’s the Midday Newswrap. Today, a look at some of the big stories of the week on the international, national and local scenes.With the showmanship that usually attends a reality TV show, former reality TV star Donald Trump announced his latest nomination to the Supreme Court. Federal Circuit Court Judge Brett Kavanaugh is the President’s second pick for the highest court in the land, and it is quite possible that it won’t be his last. Kristen Clarke joins Tom on the line from Washington, D.C. She’s the president and executive director of the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law.Then Philip Bump, a National Correspondent for the Washington Post, joins the program to assess President Trump’s trip to the NATO Meeting, his talks with Prime Minister Theresa May of Great Britain, and his upcoming get-together with Vladimir Putin.Tom also talks with Pamela Wood of the Baltimore Sun about the recount under way in Hunt Valley in the incredibly tight race for the Democratic nomination for Baltimore County Executive. After the first tally, John Olszewski, Jr. had nine more votes than his closest challenger, Senator Jim Brochin. Pam discusses where things stand with that, and when we may know the results of the County-mandated re-count.
On this post-primary show, The Sun's Erin Cox and Luke Broadwater talk about Tuesday's election, starting with progressive Democrat Ben Jealous' decisive victory over five other gubernatorial candidates. Jealous will face incumbent Republican Gov. Larry Hogan in November's mid-term election. Also on the show: Commentary by Melissa Deckman, professor and chair in political science at Washington College. A look at the results from Baltimore County with Sun reporter Pamela Wood.
On the eve of Tuesday's primary election, Dan speaks with Sun reporters Erin Cox, Luke Broadwater and Pamela Wood about the campaigns for Maryland governor, Baltimore County executive, Baltimore State's Attorney and other offices.
Early voting in the MD Primary begins tomorrow. Marylanders can vote early, at locations around the state, for a week, until June 21st. Then, there’s a four-day break in voting until Election Day, Tuesday, June 26th. A reminder that if you are not yet registered to vote, you can register and vote on the same day --but only if you vote early. You will not be able to register on Election Day. The last time Maryland held a primary election for important offices like Governor, County Executive, or State’s Attorney was in 2014. In the primaries that year, barely more than 24% of eligible Democrats participated in the election, and even fewer Republicans cast a vote in their primary. The turnout in the General election was also very low. Let’s hope that isn’t the case again this year. Today, in the wake of Democrat Valerie Ervin's decision to withdraw from the Maryland gubernatorial race and endorse primary candidate Rushern Baker for the job, we’ll look at how her move has changed the dynamics of the governor's race and impacted the Democrats' challenge this fall to Governor Larry Hogan, the popular Republican incumbent. And we'll look at some of the other big races across the region that will begin to be decided tomorrow.Joining Tom is a roundtable of three seasoned political reporters:Pamela Wood covers Baltimore County government and politics for the Baltimore Sun.William Zorzi is a reporter for Maryland Matters, an online news site covering the Maryland political scene. He was also a Baltimore Sun reporter and editor for nearly 20 years. And Ovetta Wiggins knows state politics very well, as well. She covers the State House for the Washington Post. She joins us on the line from Annapolis.This conversation was live streamed and its video is available on WYPR's Facebook page.
Few events in recent MD history were as shocking or disruptive to the political landscape as the death of Kevin Kamenetz last week, from a heart attack. The 60 year old Baltimore County Executive was one of the leading contenders in the crowded field of hopefuls vying for the chance to run against incumbent Governor Larry Hogan in November. With just a month until early voting starts in the primary, candidates are scrambling to assess the new and uncertain dynamics of the race. Will Valerie Ervin, Kamenetz’s running mate in the primary, choose to run herself, and if so, with whom? Will she run at the top of a newly formed ticket, or will she maintain her position in the Lieutenant Governor slot? Kamenetz’s death also occasions many questions about the future of Baltimore County. Three Democrats and two Republicans are running in their respective primaries to face-off for the County’s top job in the fall. In the meantime, who will the County Council appoint to serve-out the remainder of Kevin Kamenetz’s term? Today on Midday, Tom explores these and other questions with Pamela Wood, who covers Baltimore County government and politics for the Baltimore Sun; and Bryan Sears , government reporter for the Daily Record.
On today's show, two big stories, one local, one national: The $37 million jury award in the Baltimore County police shooting death of 23-year-old Korryn Gaines, and the Russian cyberwar against the U.S. and President Trump's unwillingness to fight back.Pamela Wood, staff reporter for The Baltimore Sun, reviews the Korryn Gaines case, from the August 2016 standoff with police that ended with her death to Friday's jury award of $37 million for her six-year-old son and other family members.Sean Gallagher, the Baltimore-based IT and national security editor of Ars Technica, the tech-news web site, talks about President Trump's unwillingness to counter the activities described in Friday's Russian indictments -- a misinformation campaign to interfere with the 2016 U.S. election, and ongoing threats to democratic institutions.Links:http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/baltimore-county/bs-md-co-gaines-verdict-analysis-20180216-story.htmlhttps://arstechnica.com/author/sean-gallagher/http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/opinion/editorial/bs-ed-0215-trump-russia-20180214-story.htmlhttp://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/politics/bs-md-indictment-blacktivist-20180216-story.html

If we are not a little bit uncomfortable every day, we're not growing...All the good stuff is outside our comfort zone.. ' Tammy Hudgins from “A Finishing Touch” and “I was a FB Nobody” talks about her favorite subject...networking. There are other ways to support people. It's not only by using their services or buying from them. Going out there and meeting people is essential if you want to grow your business. It's about forming bonds and friendship. Facebook is great for the initial contact, but you still need to go the extra step. You need to take those extra steps to succeed. Dance Cards event are when the organizer will pair up 2 people who will take it upon themselves to meet up. It's a great way to get out there and meet up. Tammy tries to compliment the business as well. Pamela Wood from Barrie Mompreneurs put them on monthly as well. Kids are back to school and it allows Moms to get out during the day. Routine is good. A step beyond a Dance Cards are the networking events. The Mo-Mondays, Tampon Tuesdays. Be prepared and come with your business literature with you. When you are there, walk over and introduce yourself to someone. Step out of your comfort level. Adding the personal is important as you are doing business with the person and not the business. Support can be in different forms. Sometimes someone is looking or a service or a product you can recommend. You can share someones information so others can look into it. Social Media is not a place to trash a company or a person. It's public. Instead, send a private message. Proper Social Media Etiquette. You are putting your own personal reputation on the line. Everyone has their own opinions. We are all independent contractors in business that we do not own. Your social media presence affects how the company is viewed. If you feel strongly about a situation, you need to go to the small business and give them the opportunity to fix the issue. When you are not 100%, you must be ready to step back and re-connect with your thoughts. There are many reps for the same companies. There are different ways to support them. Tammy will only host a party Jockey person to person with Jyllian Khunen. It's up to you to make your own decisions. What to wear at networking events. Is it business, is it casual? It really depends on the environment. Dress to be comfortable to decrease your stress level. You need to be yourself. Business cards. When and where to hand them out. Are they useful? Post card may be a better idea. With something enticing on it. Give them a reason to keep your card. Epicure Ceaser Rim is the ultimate rim. It has a nice bite to it according to Tammy. http://crystalhollingshead.myepicure.com/Default.aspx?TabId=357&language=en-CA On a side note. For Moms getting out there and starting to get their name out there, its great to start with Facebook. If you are shy, working within the group. When you are comfortable, then go out and meet them in person. Talk to people and share your ideas. You can type in the search bar what you are looking for. IMPORTANT. Please read the rules in the group. FOLLOW those rules. Tammy teaches “I was a facebook nobody” that I plan taking in the near future. https://www.facebook.com/wasanobody The rule of thumb is to make your business visible once a day. Be sure to add your personality to your business pager. You need to make your presence in 3-5 groups everyday. A minimun 1 hour day on facebook. You will see a difference in business. Tammy spends an hour in a morning on facebook. Tammy can post when she is looking for support as she has created some relationships. Find Tammy Hudgins online.
