Maryland General Assembly overrides Gov. Hogan's vetoes of $15 minimum wage, comptroller's oversight

'Maryland’s General Assembly took swift action Thursday to override Gov. Larry Hogan’s veto of a bill that will gradually increase the state’s minimum wage to $15 per hour.

The override of the minimum wage bill was never in question and came by wide margins: 96-43 in the House of Delegates, followed by a 32-15 vote in the Senate. It takes 29 votes to override in the Senate and 85 in the House.

Lawmakers also overrode a veto of a bill that strips State Comptroller Peter Franchot’s alcohol and tobacco enforcement authority, moving it to a new commission. And they took a step toward overriding a veto of a bill that would overturn Hogan’s order that public schools must start the academic year after Labor Day.'>>>
