CAMBRIDGE, Md. (AP) -- Cambridge police say a 44-year-old woman gave birth in a portable toilet at a park, then dropped the newborn girl into the waste holding tank.

Charging documents state that a witness at Long Wharf Park called 911 Monday morning after Candy Vigneri asked for a cigarette, then said she had just had a baby and the baby was in the toilet.

When police arrived, they found Vigneri holding the baby covered in blue chemical similar to the liquid inside the tank.

Police say the newborn was left in the waste tank for about three minutes. Vigneri and the baby were taken to the Memorial Hospital at Easton for treatment.

Vigneri was released Wednesday and charged with first- and second-degree child abuse and reckless endangerment. The infant was listed in stable condition on Wednesday.

Md.'s Kratovil votes against health care bill
March 21, 2010 23:27 EDT

ARLINGTON, Va. (AP) -- Maryland's freshman Democratic Congressman Frank Kratovil says concerns over cost led him to ultimately oppose health care reform legislation in the U.S. House.

The House of Representatives voted 219-212 for the bill Sunday evening. It extends health care to tens of millions of Americans who lack it and tries to clamp down on insurance company abuses.

Kratovil and Maryland's lone Republican Congressman Roscoe Bartlett were the only two of the state's eight U.S. House members to oppose the bill.

Kratovil narrowly won Maryland's 1st District seat in 2008 and faces a tough re-election race this year. His likely GOP opponent is conservative state Sen. Andy Harris.
