    FWIW, That's the first vote out of the House on the initial House bill. They say they didn't understand the bill. Quite possible, as the House committee completely rewrote the bill secretly and the House leadership pushed it through very fast. Frankly, it caught a lot of us looking the other way. Our opponents are sneaky and underhanded and play by their own rules. House members were then educated. Here is the second vote after it was amended in the Senate to be far less onerous (still God Awful -- the initial House version was just far worse). On the final bill (as amended in the Senate), the House vote was 93 to 46, with four Republicans voting for the bill. Those four were Delegate Kathy Afzali (District 4, Frederick and Carroll Counties), Delegate Chris West, (District 42B, Baltimore County), Delegate Susan L. M. Auman, (District 42B, Baltimore County) and Delegate Robert L. Flanagan, (District 9B, Howard County). All other Republicans voted "NO." Note the switch (including Sue Krebs). Led by Judicial Proceedings Committee members, Senators Hough, Ready, Cassilly and Senator Linda Norman, nearly every Senate Republican stood with us on HB 1302, after it emerged from Committee. Senator Mathias, a Democrat, also voted "NO." The only Republican exception was Senator Reilly District 33, Anne Arundel County. Politicians make mistakes all the time. These Delegates sought to redeem themselves the second time around. Folks can come to their own conclusions whether to set aside the initial vote. I have. It is more than fair to hold everyone to account for their final votes.

    Sorry, this is not the first time they voted to let loose the tiger and the damage was already done. They can vote any way they want for the final bill and it makes no difference since they know what the outcome will be.
    Krebs has to go!
