From Del. Rick Impallaria:
End of Session Wrap-Up – April 2013
Friends, it has been an honor serving you for the past 11 years. I can’t say that the job has gotten easier, as the State marches farther and farther to the left. I really held back on sending out my Annapolis Updates this year, hoping for some positive news. Unfortunately, the bad outweights the good.
It was a horrible year for Maryland taxpayers, but a great session for Martin O’Malley and his ambition to become the most left-wing presidential candidate in 2016.
My office received over 7700 emails on the gun issue. We responded to each, and kept everyone updated. Supporters of the Second Amendment overwhelmed the proponents of O’Malley’s bill. But in the present Maryland General Assembly, that testimony fell on deaf ears. I voted against SB 281, offered amendments to change it, and will be strongly in favor of a referendum to place it on the ballot in 2014. Gun owners, you all must register to vote for your signature to count on a referendum petition.
The Governor passed his gas tax, driver’s licenses for illegal aliens, repeal of the death penalty, a phony lock box bill for the transportation trust fund — a “box with no locks”, and numerous other fee and tax increases and additional regulations on businesses. The result will be to drive more jobs out of the State of Maryland – Beretta, the gun manufacturer in Prince George’s County, will be taking away 400 good-paying jobs.
Once again I voted against the Governor’s budget, as it continues to grow at a pace that cannot be sustained, putting Maryland in danger of losing its AAA bond rating.
The Maryland General Assembly has again this year made an attack on families and private-sector business with a shot below the belt. And throughout all this, they couldn’t even resolve a simple issue over dog bites.
I wish I could give you some good news, but I feel I was elected to tell you the truth.
Thanks once again for giving me the opportunity to fight on your behalf.
Rick Impallaria
Delegate, District 7

O’Maggot is a legend in his own mind. What a sorry excuse for a human being, let alone an elected official. Obviously he didn’t read the part that says when you are elected, you become a SERVANT OF THE PEOPLE, not the opposite. Then again, I really wouldn’t want him cleaning my house….he would do a crappy job and would rob me blind in the process. He is also delusional if he has any intentions of running for president. There was a vote on the FoxBaltimore station asking people if they think he should run for president. It was about 95% NO ! No surprise there. People see right through the little twit. He is as hell-bent on ruining Maryland, as Obama is on ruining the country. They are two sick peas in a pod. Society will be instantly elevated once those two are out of office. My new bumper sticker is: WELCOME TO MARYLAND – WHAT’S IN Y O U R WALLET ?
Fred Flintstone says
Don’t you see that he is making himself the perfect candidate. The people of this state were foolish enough to elect him twice, and the people of the country were foolish enough to elect Obama twice, so O’Malley is almost a guarantee for the presidency. I wish it were otherwise, but he is anything but delusional.
ProPrivacyAntiSmartMeter says
To Fred: You’re probably right on all counts. I still can’t believe people were so STUPID to vote either one of them in a second time. The first time I can sort of see it (but not really) – but the SECOND time confirms their stupidity !

He’ll have competition in the primary.

Watching Democrats eat their own will be hilarious, but I’m worried any of the four would be a disaster.
That's Why says
Watching the Republican circular firing squads has been equally hilarious.
When will people get over the two party system and start tossing the bums out?

Delegate,
I read what you voted against and what you were opposed too. What then sir did you accomplish. You are part of the process and our voice in Annapolis. But your correspondence reflects negativism and defeat. Therfore sir you will not be recieving my vote your next election effort.
WTF says
And exactly what did you expect him to accomplish, other than to attempt to stand in the way of the liberal landslide that plagues the state? The issue does not stand with Delegate Impallaria or the other delegates, but the mindless, brainless, entitlement-addicted low info voters in this state who insist on voting in the same tax and spend liberal idiots time and time again. Short of replicating himself to the point of a conservative majority in Annapolis, I have no faith that much of anything can be done to “accomplish” anything that will make anything better for anyone but an illegal alien, or a democrat.
Mr. Moderate says
“Politics is the art of the possible, the attainable — the art of the next best.”
Mr. Impallaria, McGready, Glass, McDonough, etc. would probably scoff at that statement–but nobody I know has ever referred to Otto Von Bismarck as a liberal, socialist, gun grabber, etc.
And nobody has ever confused OVB with
Goprliars says
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL…How ya’ll feeling now? HAHAHA… I loves seeing me some GOP crying and complaining after all their big talk during the elections… how’s the crow taste? You all could move your white bigoted asses to Mississippi…haha.
HILLARY 2016!!!!!!
Brianc says
If we all moved to MS, There’d be no one left to pay taxes and you wouldn’t be able to collect your government dole…
WTF says
Seriously jackass, watch what you wish for. Once we all move out, and the idiots in Annapolis drive out all the businesses in the state that aren’t killed by Obamacare, the only thing that O’Malley will have left to feed on is YOUR taxes to drive all the liberal wet dreams. Enjoy.
shameful says
3 months and $40,000 later, Del Impallaria finally makes an appearance. He’s going for a record. How many years now without an accomplishment other than sabotaging Republicans?
Don says
Delegate,
How’s the tow law coming as well as the law suit ?
Registereed Rep says
Good point Don
