ANNAPOLIS, Md. — On the first day of Maryland’s 2016 General Assembly session, Gov. Larry Hogan said he didn’t care from which side the good ideas came.
He’s prepared to work with all members of the House of Delegates, the majority of whom are Democrats.
“Let’s have a great session and get things done for the people of Maryland in a bipartisan way,” Hogan said.
Still, ideas might clash in the coming months. House members are getting set for votes to override Hogan’s vetoes from last year’s session.
Hogan vetoed a bill passed by the House that would’ve allowed convicted felons to regain the right to vote upon release.
Other bills targeted for an override: One that deals with hotel taxes in Howard County. It’s similar to a statewide bill that addresses how Internet companies and brick-and-mortar businesses pay state taxes.
A third override vote would restore funding for an arts center in House Speaker Michael Busch’s district in Anne Arundel County.
