Maryland House rejects Hogan veto of $15 minimum wage; Senate to vote next
By Ovetta Wiggins and Ovetta Wiggins Local reporter covering Maryland state politics Email Bio Follow Rachel Chason Rachel Chason Reporter covering local politics Email Bio Follow March 28 at 12:52 PM Maryland on Thursday became at least the eighth state to adopt a $15 minimum wage, with both chambers of the Democratic-majority legislature voting to override Republican Gov. Larry Hogan’s veto of a bill he said would cause job losses and hurt small businesses.
The House voted 96-43 for the override, while the Senate vote was 35-12. The House also voted 98-39 to override Hogan’s veto of a bill that strips the authority to regulate alcohol and tobacco from the state comptroller’s office. Gov. Larry Hogan in his office in Annapolis, Md. House Minority Leader Nicholaus R. Kipke argued in vain for members of the House to sustain Hogan’s veto. “Stand up for jobs, stand up for opportunities,” Kipke said.
Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller Jr. said the Senate will also vote Thursday on whether to override the governor’s vetoes of the alcohol regulation bill and another measure that overturns Hogan’s 2016 executive order that required schools to start after Labor Day. The House would then vote on the school-calendar measure.Hogan described the alcohol and school calendar bills as “politically motivated.
