Kratovil airs 'quite misleading' ad

If this is the way that Frank Kratovil is going to run his campaign to keep his House seat away from Andy Harris from here on out, expect it to be a nasty battle - but count on it being a campaign which hides some of the key facts.

An ad that's so far only been seen on the internet claims that Andy Harris supports a 23% sales tax increase.
