Md. House expected to seek overrides of Hogan’s vetoes

ANNAPOLIS, Md. — On the first day of Maryland鈥檚 2016 General Assembly session, Gov. Larry Hogan said he didn鈥檛 care from which side the good ideas came.

He鈥檚 prepared to work with all members of the House of Delegates, the majority of whom are Democrats.

鈥淟et鈥檚 have a great session and get things done for the people of Maryland in a bipartisan way,鈥 Hogan said.

Still, ideas might clash in the coming months. House members are getting set for votes to override Hogan鈥檚 vetoes from last year鈥檚 session.

Hogan vetoed a bill passed by the House that would鈥檝e 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鈥檚 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鈥檚 district in Anne Arundel County.
