That’s what Attorney General Doug Gansler told O’Malley in a letter the day before he signed the Budget Reconciliation and Financing Act of 2014, SB172. But the AG still said O’Malley could sign the bill.
The letter was first reported on Wednesday by the Conduit Street blog of the Maryland Association of Counties.
Other unconstitutional provisions in the catch-all BRFA (BUR-fa as it’s called) included a $50 reduction in the title fees for rental cars, a funding mandate for the Maryland Park Service, a mandate that speed camera fees be used to buy State Police vehicles and a hotel tax in Harford County.

As we saw with DOMA politicians sign unconstitutional laws all the time and then they have to be struck down by the courts later. The practice costs the taxpayer a bundle.
Shows he would be a smidgen better than Brown as governor.....still voting for Craig-Haddaway though!
These things are wrong but the changes to our gun rights was ok
And a man who says it's okay to knowingly sign unconstitutional documents and condones that action wants to be your next Governor!
I think not, Mr. Gansler.
