Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr.'s chief legal counsel is asking lawmakers investigating the firing of state employees to also help expose MD4Bush -- the Internet chat-room visitor whose remarks were the catalyst for the probe.

Chief Counsel Jervis S. Finney told Sen. Thomas McLain Middleton, a Charles Democrat and co-chairman of the Special Committee on State Employee Rights and Protections, to use subpoenas to "seek the truth as it relates to MD4Bush."

MD4Bush prodded longtime Ehrlich aide Joseph F. Steffen Jr. into a chat-room discussion in February about rumored infidelity by Baltimore Mayor Martin O'Malley, a Democratic candidate for governor.
