Yeah, I just received the exact same thing.
Thank you for emailing my office concerning Senate Bill 288. I've appreciated hearing the opinions from residents all over Maryland. I'll be sure to consider all sides of the issue before voting in committee.
If there is anything else I can do for you in the future, please don't hesitate to contact me again.
Sincerely,
John A. Giannetti Jr.
Senator, District 21
Prince George's & Anne Arundel Counties

Something that you may find of intrest. This is copied from the 21 district vote count from the 2002 elections. My estimat of the population of the 21 district is over 150,000 folks. Look what elected him...
This page shows official results for the 2002 Gubernatorial Primary election. It was generated at 01:18 PM on Wednesday, March 19, 2003 (US Eastern Time).
State Senator: District 21 (Vote for One)
Democratic Candidates
Arthur Dorman John A. Giannetti, Jr. (Won)
Anne Arundel 595 908
Prince George's 3,545 3,457
Totals (48.7%) 4,140 (51.3%) 4,365
Less than 10,00 folks put this guy in power. I would say he had less than a mandate!! I think we can rally 226 people to change the results next time!

So did they vote today?
Supposed to....I've been listening to, and watching the news all day but haven't heard or seen any mention of it.
Maybe the 5:00 news will have something.
If I have to wait untill the 11:00 news I might have to :banghead: :banghead: and

I was at my favorite gun store in Glen Burnie today and Scott and Bill both told me that SB 288 had been tabled (not going out of committee) however I haven't seen or heard anything on the news to back this up.......sure hope they are right.

Spot77 - don't wait up
The MD/DC/Balt media seems to have done a "blackout job" on this story, so don't hold your breath. They sure were eager to print all the Cease(thinking)MD pre-hearing propaganda, but coverage of the actual events at the hearing has been nil. The WashPost is the guiltiest party around.
I was sitting near some woman who was allowed to stand near the back. I think she was with the press because others were shooed out of the room if they couldn't find a seat, but she wasn't. This woman was taking notes during the first session and had a tape recorder out. Of course, she was gone before the second session even started, like a lot of people. If she was with the press, then she missed the real segment of the story that day when the 100+ average people got up to testify against the bill.

Yeah I know how one side the press was....heck even committee members didn't have enough respect to stay for all of the testimony....I was one of the first ones testifying that got cut to one minute......There was no press there to take >MY<picture and get quotes from me.

I hope it's on hold. That will give us (and them ) more time.
maybe if we continue to bang away on the Senators the next time it comes up they might think twice about signing on to it!
95 YJ and a 94 XJ
Trying to secure a 97 ZJ so my XJ can come off of daily drive status and grow up!

I called Sen. Brochin's office to find out for sure what is going on- the news sounds mixed, but more good than bad.
There has been a vote.
Sen. Brochin voted against the bill (he had see-sawed a little, first against then undecided)
It has been put "on hold". I don't know as much about state legislative workings as I do federal legislative workings but "on hold" sounds to me like it isn't defeated but it isn't going anywhere. I think it could still be resurrected this legislative session if one side or another senses a change. Anyone more versed in state workings let me know if I'm wrong.
