The Saturday Night Massacre

I'm just postulating this out loud, but if the leadership of the General Assembly was truly interested in being above board with their attempted pilfering of the pocketbooks of Maryland taxpayers, then why is the House of Delegates in session on a Saturday night on a holiday weekend? Seriously. HB2, the so-called "Tax Reform Act of 2007" and HB5, the so-called "Transportation Investment Act, both passed second reading tonight in the House. The House adjourned at 10:36 PM and was to return nine minutes later.

If those favoring these ridiculous tax increases truly believe in pilfering the taxpayers, there would be no need to ramrod these massive tax hikes through when nobody was looking...
