Although many political experts claim the O’Malley agenda is on a fast track for success, I am beginning to have my doubts.  The State Senate appears to be very shaky and Mike Miller does not consider this “his special session.”

If the Governor stumbles, the President of the Senate would not shed a tear.  The Republican Senate Caucus appears united and aggressive.  All of them are opposed to O’Malley’s phony slots bill.  Should the slots bill die, the entire tax package could be dragged into the grave with it.  Keep your eye on the Senate and your e-mails, letters, and phone calls directed to the big eight Democrat State Senators.  They are:

Senator Jim Brochin, Baltimore County, 410-841-3648 

Senator Katherine Klausmeier, Baltimore County, 410-841- 3620

Senator Norman Stone, Baltimore County, 410-841-3587

Senator George Della, Baltimore City, 410-841-3000

Senator James DeGrange, Anne Arundel County, 410-841-3593

Senator Roy Dyson, Calvert, Charles, and St. Mary’s Counties, 410-841-3673

Senator Edward Kasemeyer, Baltimore & Howard Counties, 410-841-3653

Senator John Astle, Anne Arundel County, 410-841-3578
