Holy cow! I would never have guessed he'd do this.
So, what makes crow more palatable? Old Bay or maybe Chulula?
Save the spice purchase, and give that money to MSI - they make all of this taste just a little bit better.

I just *know* that the Governor vetoed HB4 only because we asked him to. See attached. Seriously, we are enormously pleased.
In a recent study concerning California's comprehensive background check (“CBC”)
and misdemeanor violence prohibition policies conducted by researchers from the
University of California Davis School of Medicine, and by Daniel Webster of the
Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health (among others), the study
concluded that California’s long standing comprehensive background check
system “was not associated with a net change in the firearm homicide rate over the ensuing 10 years in California.”

He vetoed a handful and allowed a metric ton to lapse into law without his signature.NOW this begs the question...did he sign ANY of the bills from the truncated session? Or did he decide to veto most of them simply because they weren't passed in the manner that the state constitution requires? (public hearings and testimony ETC)
Not that it matters, it's one of those things where the end justifies the means I guess...Thanks Larry...

Kirwan I read was vetoed along with much of the other proliferate spending. The money to salvage the Preakness was allowed to become law without signature.That's alot to read. What happened to the other gun bills?
how about that big tax increase thing? Kirwan? Wrath of Kahn, what ever it was?

This doesn’t surprise me at all. There is no doubt that he has aspirations beyond Gov of Maryland and he needs to do something to appear like he is at least neutral on 2A items. In the end he knows this doesn’t matter because his veto will get overridden.
Sorry - they can override in a Special Session. Constitutionally, it is one of the first actions they are supposed to consider upon convening a new session (other than the first session of the four year term).Special session is single issue only, so no, no veto over rides.
(Source: https://msa.maryland.gov/msa/mdmanual/07leg/html/proc.html#vetoed)VETOED BILLS
The power to override a veto rests with the General Assembly. If the Governor vetoes a bill during a regular session, the General Assembly immediately considers the Governor's veto message. If the Governor vetoes a bill presented after the session, the veto message must be considered immediately at the next regular or special session of the legislature. The General Assembly may not override a veto during the first year of a new legislative term since the bill would have been passed by the previous legislature (Const., Art. II, sec. 17). A three-fifths vote of the elected membership of both chambers is necessary to override a veto.
IIRC he vetoed Kirwan and the associated tax increase bills.
Double woo hoo!!
Okay, so here is what can happen.
Governor Hogan could (or 3/5's of each chamber can petition the Governor to) call any number of special sessions. He called one last year to elect a new Speaker, but they didn't tackle the SB1000 vetos during that session. It's probably not worth calling a special session just to override vetos on feel good legislation anyway. They got most of their licks in this year to justify their existence in their own minds. That means they can and will take up the vetos next session in January.
Isn’t January the seating of the next legislature for their 4 year term? So a veto couldn’t be over ridden, the legislation would have to be run through the entire process again?
