I’m ashamed that my high school in Howard County, Glenelg High, was the place where Grace McComas was bullied until she saw no other way out than suicide. The law in her name, Grace’s law, was an important accomplishment, even it was too late for Grace.
State Sen. Bobby Zirkin, D-Montgomery County, splashed that accomplishment all over a Facebook page that he would later claim was not related to his public position as a state senator when he started deleting polite requests from constituents for him to explain his position on another life-saving bill that he “slow-walked” through the Senate until the clock ran out last year: the bill that would make it illegal for already disqualified people to obtain rifles and shotguns at gun shows and other transfers.
Although Gov. Larry Hogan was publicly shamed and paid a fine for the same kind of deletions just before this, the constituents who were deleted had no such option. This is because Zirkin is so petty and vengeful that we knew other important bills would be slow-walked by him again...
AND
Zirkin has a history of deletions:
Thank you. Yes Senator Zirkin is a thin skinned power hungry legislature with no respect for his constituents or for the law. I'm glad he's gone. I can't tell you how many legislators came up to me to privately thank me for taking him on when they could not because he would secretly kill their bills as well.
ReplyDeleteOur state senator Bobby Zirkin
ReplyDeleteIs rather swift and hard-working
But when it comes to pass a bill
He reverts back to slow-walking.
