Annapolis - Del. Adrienne Jones, lugging a bulging briefcase, heads for the door with a guy trying to cut her off. She won't make it, not with that briefcase slowing her down.

They're the legislators trying to find whether the Ehrlich administration has been taking away people's state jobs just because they have the wrong political leanings.
