Franchot raising money for second term
By Politicker StaffSince the last State Comptroller was defeated in the Democratic primary, Peter Franchot isn't taking his 2012 re-election for granted. He's scheduled a fundraiser -- a $500-$1,000 per person event to celebrate his 60th birthday -- for Thursday night. After nine terms in the House of Delegates, Franchot ousted one of Maryland's most venerable votegetters, William Donald Schaefer, in the '06 primary.
