MD Senate President cites Institutional Inertia

February 9th, 2010

In this article, MD Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller cites “institutional inertia” regarding the city of Annapolis’ inability to remove snow.    He also says “This city is stuck in a time warp".  

I read both of these quotes and nearly landed on the floor laughing.   You do understand that institutional inertia is one of the very tactics that he utilizes to govern.    The fact that he won’t allow wine & beer to be shipped to Maryland is not only stuck in a time warp but also draconian and neo-prohibitionist.    Not allowing the bill to get out of committee when 106 out of 188 legislators support the bill is institutional inertia.

This article depicts the liquor lobby’s stranglehold on our elected officials:  “But Maryland’s liquor wholesalers won’t give an inch. Until now, neither have their (handsomely rewarded) champions in the legislature. “

Mr. Miller should begin choosing his words a little more wisely as he has become a hypocrite to cite institutional inertia as it is a tactic for which he is very familiar.

Please support Marylanders for Better Beer & Wine Laws.   They have an on-line petition that I urge you to sign.    Yes – Maryland’s Wine Siege Continues.
