Democrats in the House of Delegates sidetracked a Republican attempt Tuesday to force a vote on a 16 percent pay raise for lawmakers – virtually assuring the pay hike will take effect without a vote.
The House voted 87-48 to defeat a procedural move by Del. Cathleen M. Vitale, an Anne Arundel County Republican, to bring her resolution blocking the raise to the floor. The motion required 94 votes to pass. Only a handful of Democratic delegates, including gubernatorial candidate Heather R. Mizeur, joined a united Republican caucus in supporting the move.
By sending Vitale's resolution of disapproval to the Rules Committee — which is under the control of House Speaker Michael E. Busch — the Democrats can prevent the measure from coming up for a vote.

ReplyDelete9:46 Look in the mirror pal, instead of the mad dog approach how about seeking like minded people that are willing to do more than attack the victim.
ReplyDeleteHow did Norman Conway vote -- a stupid question?
ReplyDeleteThey do not even deserve minimum wage.
ReplyDelete9:46 I can see your blood pressure from here. People like you, are the ones who do nothing. Blaming it on everyone else. Go pound sand.
For the record Conway voted FOR the pay raises. If this community votes the way it should in November he'll never see a dime of it!
