Vallario gave us a hearing, for which I would honor him, except for his blatant "wrong count" re-vote, which deliberately screwed us in the end.
So it's simple showmanship, I fear, rather than any intention to demonstrate respect for our views, that motivated him.
My original desk-drawer comment was a reflection on Chairman Frosh's actions, or inactions, regarding bills he disapproved of. The desk-drawer veto seems to be a sop to the innate corruption of MD politicians in general. I'm curious regarding its existence and history - but too lazy to look into it myself. Anyone with further info is invited to hold forth on the subject.
