From the Wash. Post article: "Resort Attracts Md. Lawmakers, Lobbyists"
By Daniel LeDuc, Wash. Post Staff Writer, Wed., Aug. 9, 2000; Page B01
And Annapolis lobbyist Bruce C. Bereano and Maryland State Teachers Association lobbyist Diana Saquella captained the luncheon cruise aboard a 68-foot schooner, where their shipmates included House Majority Whip George W. Owings III (D-Calvert), Sen. Gloria G. Lawlah (D-Prince George's), Sen. Edward J. Kasemeyer (D-Howard), Del. David M. Valderrama (D-Prince George's), Del. James E. Proctor Jr. (D-Prince George's), Sen. Nathaniel Exum (D-Prince George's), Del. Nathaniel T. Oaks (D-Baltimore), Sen. John J. Hafer (R-Allegany), Sen. Arthur Dorman (D-Prince George's), Del. Diane DeCarlo (D-Baltimore County), Sen. Ulysses Currie (D-Prince George's) and Del. Carolyn J.B. Howard (D-Prince George's).
Although not a complete list of those who sailed the schooner Glenn L. Swetmann when it departed the Beau Rivage's marina Monday afternoon, that is more of the names than will appear in any disclosure statements supplied to Maryland's State Ethics Commission. The same exemption to the law that allowed the lawmakers to accept the meals and entertainment at out-of-town conferences also did away with a requirement for disclosure by the legislators or the lobbyists.
