Maryland Delegation Faces Pressure Over Gay Rights Bill
Governor Glendening pressed hard to advance pet projects including a gay rights bill. Senate opposition from Tim Ferguson and Alex Mooney stalled the measure. Mooney hired an out of state PR firm to kill it and questioned his op ed authorship. Despite pressure, delegates voted their conscience serving constituents in a conservative Frederick County. The session saw hardball tactics, a tester for the governor, and concern over a 444 million capital budget impact on county projects.
