ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Maryland lawmakers overrode Gov. Larry Hogan’s vetoes five times on Thursday, but had to give up on three other bills, including a bill one designed to make freight rail safer.
A major economic development project played a role in that bill’s doom.
The concurrent votes in the two chambers of the Maryland General Assembly were the first time this session Democrats have exercised their veto-proof majorities after postponing these votes several times this session.
The votes passed generally along party lines.
Democrats were successful in overriding vetoes on five bills, including a “ban the box” measure that will make it illegal for employers to ask about an applicant’s criminal history before the first interview, and a “Dream Act,” which eases restrictions on when an undocumented immigrant can pay in-state tuition at state colleges and universities.

Democrats don’t want repercussions for crimes against society.
One of the main reasons we do not commit crimes is reputation.
You commit crimes, it stays with you. Or at least it should. But not in Democrat world.
Too many wouldn’t get jobs.
Just more steps for the Democrats to increase their voter base and increase taxes, while stealing more money from the MD State Employee Retirement Fund that we were /are mandated to contribute into. This also be required for these crooked Democrats to have a balanced budget, as required in MD, without cutting "big government"
Looks like BOY WONDER JAKE DAY wont be getting any funding from MARYLAND on those BIKE PATHS!!!!!!
Great
Hogan needs to be impeached the dumbest governor we have ever had, and also his buddy Jake Day. Can we get impeachment started on both now, I believe we would have the votes on both.
Trump, who Hogan tries to discredit, has far more success with the Democrats than Hogan ever will. Hogan gets to say "he tried" while knowing he secretly sides with them. Hogan panders to Baltimore. It is his power base, just like our state legislature's power base. The vetoes were for show only. Hogan didn't care if they were overturned or not.
