Maryland House Votes To Reprimand Lawmaker Over Ethics

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — The Maryland House of Delegates voted Friday to reprimand a lawmaker for using his position to advocate for changes in awarding licenses to medical marijuana producers that could have resulted in a benefit to a company that employed him.

The House voted 138-0 to reprimand Del. Dan Morhaim, a Baltimore County Democrat who was a paid consultant for Doctors Orders, a company that is now a finalist to grow and process marijuana in Maryland.

The case prompted Gov. Larry Hogan to call for ethics reforms he is backing to “try to stop this growing culture of corruption” in Annapolis.

He is a Democrat isn't he! He should be forced to resign or impeached. This is about as low as you can go.
