Snow & Liberal Leave, Holy Week, Crossover Deadline

[Multifaceted]

Liberal leave in Annapolis today for state employees and legislators due to the snow conditions. With Passover tomorrow and Good Friday at the end of the week, I wonder what is to come of a committee vote on the bill. Chairman Vallario personally told us on Saturday that a vote would happen this week.

Americans Against Illegal Mayors: Demand A Plan
Permalink | Print
Mayor Mike Bloomberg's Mayors Against Illegal Guns political pressure group is hard at work. Working with several paid lobbyist, advertising, and public relations firmss, they are about to launch a $12 million television ad campaign, pressing for "comprehensive background checks". Banning private party sales of used guns (forcing all gun sales to go through licensed dealers) will lay the groundwork for a nationwide system of gun registration. But Bloomberg's Buddies have some public relations problems...

The latest news is that another member of Mayors Against Illegal Guns has been arrested. This time it was Mayor Craig Lowe of Gainesville, Florida, arrested for drunk driving. The arresting officer found the mayor sleeping it off, in his wrecked car. Lowe was one of 30 mayors recently featured in a Bloomberg-funded anti-gun commercial.

And the same week Marcus Hook, Pennsylvania, Mayor James Schiliro, got himself in very deep trouble, by falsely imprisoning and providing alcohol to an underage man, and drunkenly firing a gun inside his home, reportedly to intimidate the young man into having oral homosexual relations. (In this incident, it was also reported the Mayor had first ordered a borough police officer to pick up the 20-year-old and bring him to his home.) As with many other criminal mayors, Bloomberg's anti-gun organization quickly dropped Schiliro from their roster, to distance themselves. (Coincidentally, it was a desire for boys and young men that also landed Coaldale Pennsylvania Mayor Richard P. Corkery in jail on 28 charges of possession of child pornography. He too was a Mayors Against Illegal Guns member. )

Meanwhile, sentencing is expected this week for John Bencivengo, the former mayor of Hamilton Township--a suburb of Trenton, New Jersey. He was convicted last November on extortion, money laundering and bribery-related counts. He too was a Mayors Against Illegal Guns member.

These events were heralded just a few weeks after former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin was indicted, and just days after former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick was found guilty of 24 additional corruption charges. They too were Mayors Against Illegal Guns members.

Illegal guns aren't a problem, but illegal mayors in Bloomberg's "crime fighting" group certainly are! (There were at least 20 of them (if you include Felix Roque), at last count.) Mikey Bloomberg seems to attract these low-lifes. Contact your legislators to insist that they Close the Mayor's Office Loophole! Tell them that you support comprehensive background checks on Mayoral candidates. That's just a commonsense step. And something needs to be done about High Capacity Mayors--you know, the mayors with a high capacity for corruption and influence peddling, a high capacity for campaign contribution fraud, a high capacity for pedophilia, a high capacity for alcohol abuse, a high capacity for assault, a high capacity for theft, a high capacity for money laundering, a high capacity for conspiracy, a high capacity for extortion, and a high capacity for racketeering.

These criminals have gained access to mayor's chairs one too many times. It is far too easy for criminals to become mayors. Demand a Plan and Demand Action, America! - J.W.R.

Nice! Do you suppose we could get the Sun or WoPo to publish that article along with the last couple of gun-related polls they ran?

 

[Multifaceted]

Does anyone have any input about this week's agenda due to the snow today and religious holidays this week?

 

[Straightshooter]

If it's " liberal leave" do conservatives still need to report? If so, we should able able to kill this thing today.

 

[Brooklyn]

There will be a pac forming I can feel it. Been thinking of taxing myself to help fun it. maybe $.0.10 a round

Bloomberg's criminal cabal conspires to corrupt youth.. news at 11:00 oh wait thats's not news ...

I'm more worried about something shady like a clandestine vote because of the shortened time table.

Session is live right now, though according to Smigiel's facebook post, not many were expected to show today, so I'm not sure who is and isn't present.

 

[Mike OTDP]

You have to do it with a straight face, though. Americans Against Illegal Mayors should not just be about protecting 2A rights, but about putting the petty tyrants that are drawn to mayorships behind bars.

And Bloomberg is nothing if not a petty tyrant.

 

[danb]

If it's " liberal leave" do conservatives still need to report? If so, we should able able to kill this thing today.

since a version has already passed the senate, i believe the correct deadline for this bill is april 4th, not today.

The group should be called Criminal Mayors Against Civilians with Guns.

I don't know for certain, but I recall reading Vallario was reported saying that the committee had a lot of cross over votes to do today and SB281 would wait until at least Tuesday.

I "think" they need to have a quorum to conduct any real business, so if they don't have it they may put off votes until they do or another day. I would guess if they wanted to move quickly and under cover/darkness on SB281 they would have done it already. Course, they should be watched...

Article posted this morning with status:

http://www.wbal.com/article/98532/3/template-story/Week-Twelve-Crossover-Deadline-Hearings-On-Agenda

Crossover doesn't affect this, since it already passed in the Senate.

We still need to keep a close eye on them!

They got it out of committee under the cover of darkness so anything is possible.

I personally heard the same thing from Chairman Vallario himself on Saturday. Though with the snow and liberal leave today, I'm wondering how that will affect the crossover votes today. Good point about the need for a quorum.

Just trying to approach this objectively and strategically. If today's agenda is hampered by the snow, and tomorrow being a Jewish holiday, and Good Friday thereafter... this could either prove to be advantageous to us, or might hasten their motives...

I'm not concluding anything, just weighing out possible scenarios.

Edit: I also know that the crossover doesn't affect SB281 since it already passed the senate, however; Chairman V said that the other crossover votes are the priority.

 

[Arcamm]

I know they are in session right now. I called Delegate Ready's office at 10:30 and he was already on the floor.

 

[ThatIsAFact]

since a version has already passed the senate, i believe the correct deadline for this bill is april 4th, not today.

Yes, SB 281 passed the Senate weeks ago, and the House is working off of this bill, so the crossover date is irrelevant to the governor's bill.

The end of the 90-day regular session is Monday, April 8.

 

[aray]

We can't watch them too closely. Look what they did with the gas tax - underhanded voting in violation of their own rules.
