Comments: I subscribe only to The Aegis newspaper, so I'm not sure about the others. The Aegis has not written any stories so far on the TaxDayTeaParty events scheduled for 4/15 in the towns of Bel Air & Havre de Grace. I emailed them asking why I haven't seen coverage on these events and I have not received a response.

Karen,
Thank you for choosing abc2news.com. We will monitor the Tax Day Tea Party event. It is uncharacteristic for us or any other news organization to carry information on an event like this, so far out. The event is 3 weeks away.
I have made sure it makes our list and is on our radar as we get closer to April 15th.
Thanks,
Larry Carney | Executive Producer of Online Content | WMAR-TV - ABC2NEWS.COM 410.372.2578 office | carney@wmar.com

Typical of the Baltimore area media to ignore events such as a tax day tea party.
