How many of us who cared about what happened with HB 235 were aware of this attitude of the Maryland State Senate President?

    "I personally believe [HB 235] is anti-family, uh, so I'm going to vote against it.

Umm, and so if they're not going to do it, so if the senators and house members themselves wouldn't hire someone in that category, how can we say to constituents that you've got to do this?"
