The campaign is on
If there were any question about the top priority of legislative Democrats during this year’s General Assembly, Senate President Thomas V. “Mike” Miller cleared it up Tuesday afternoon.
First order of business after the assembly convenes today is to “declare Independence Day” on Thursday, when the Senate expects to consider overrides of Gov. Robert Ehrlich’s vetoes from last year – including the Fair Share Health Care Act, which would force large employers to contribute 8 percent or more of payroll on health care, and a bill to increase the minimum wage. And then, Miller said, Democrats will continue to go after the Republican governor – and any other Republicans they can whip – until after the election later this year, when “from Leonardtown to Hagerstown, we’re gonna be singing ‘Happy Days Are Here Again.’”
