U.S. Sens. Paul S. Sarbanes and Barbara Mikulski have asked federal officials to investigate whether a Maryland oyster recovery group used public money to pay for a recent opinion survey that read in parts like a political poll.
The Annapolis-based Oyster Recovery Partnership spent $20,000 on the survey, but officials in the administration of Maryland Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. (R) selected the polling firm and worked closely with the nonprofit group to prepare the 150 questions."
