Sen. Joan Carter Conway Singlehandedly Kills MD Wine Bill
February 18th, 2010
| Update 02/20/2010: According to Alexander D. Mitchell IV via the Harrisburg Patriot News, the bill may not be dead yet. “Sen. Joan Carter Conway, has scheduled a hearing on Senate Bill 566, the direct wine shipping bill, on Friday, March 5” |
| Update 02/19/2010: According to this article, Adam "Borden said Conway has said she will schedule a Senate hearing for the bill after it passes in the House, which is where his organization is now concentrating its efforts. The House version of the bill, HB716, has a hearing scheduled for March 5." |

Well folks, she did it. No surprise there. The surprise is “Carter Conway refused to bring the bill up for a hearing, effectively killing the legislation this year”. I’m not sure how this is democracy when the legislation had the support of 106/188 state legislators. If her argument was sound, she would have let the hearing occur. |
