It’s already been said a thousand times, but it bears repeating: This has been a General Assembly session like no other.
It began on a somber and shocking note – Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller Jr.’s disclosure that he was undergoing chemotherapy for Stage 4 Prostate Cancer. It ended on an even more somber and shocking note – the death of House Speaker Michael E. Busch (D-Anne Arundel) on Sunday, the day before Sine Die.
How to square the need for the sobriety and perspective these trying moments require with the snark that usually accompanies our annual roundup of session winners and losers?
The truth is, we thought about scotching the feature. But we’ve decided to press on because, well, that’s what we do. We’re here to shed some light on the session and the players who mattered most. And we could all stand a little levity about now.

Miller and Busch, two dinosaurs who should have retired decades ago.
Don't let it get to Stage IV, boys! Get those prostates checked every year!!
State Employees were screwed by our new Senator.
Talk about KARMA. Busch and Miller has screwed over MD tax payers for years while they benefitted from deceitfulness. The Unions all hate the possibility they might lose 2 of their puppets so close together.
Politicians should never go till they have to be removed horizonally
So were retirees. Dont work for the state..they promise the moon and stars and never fulfill their promises. They borrowed from the pension funds and never repaid the money so it's current funding is less than 50% of what is promised to future retirees as benefits. Dont take a state job. If you have one find a way out or max out your 401k because your money wont be there when you need it.
