“Brian Kovach first became interested in politics when he met
governor Rowland at a local fund-raising event. Inspired by the
governor’s speech, Kovach hopped on the campaign trail with several

Linux, thus saving the state a large amount of money in a tough

delegates will approve the bill, so that it can make it to
the–mock,alas!–state legislature…”
