Override one more time
When the Democratic-controlled Senate voted to override another of Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr's (R) vetoes on Wednesday, the Senate Minority Leader Lowell Stoltzfus took the opportunity to provide fellow lawmakers with some perspective on their actions.
The General Assembly has reversed 15 of Ehrlich's vetoes this session - the most in decades. There were no veto overrides during Glendening's eight years and only two during Schaefer's tenure.
"The Democratic legislature is saying, 'we're going to show you who's boss.' I think it's an embarassment," Soltzfus said, after the Senate reversed Ehrlich's veto to allow speed cameras in Montgomery County.
Senate President Thomas V. "Mike" Miller Jr. (D-Calvert) said Democrats were just responding to Ehrlich's election-year rejection of their legislation. The governor's thinking, he said, was "I'm going to veto any bill that affects my donor base."

Apparently some people on the Post staff cannot deal with the fact that you are NOT on the side of the angels on this one. Deleting comments won't change that fact.
Bet some of the Post staffers really hate working for a outfit so afraid of criticism that it shuts down a blog when the organization makes a mistake. Then they claim its because people are being uncivil, but can't back that claim up. Oh yeah, the original lie is proved to be a lie as well.
