If your amendment is adopted, you’re expected to vote for the bill.

I was told that early on in Annapolis.

Several years ago, my Republican friend Delegate Chris Shank modified that rule.

“If our amendment is adopted, we won’t speak against the bill on the floor,” Chris told me.

Unspoken was whether the bill would be discussed on the campaign trail.

My subcommittee met this morning.

Delegate Kathy Szeliga offered an amendment to a bill that she had opposed.

Her amendment was adopted.  Then she voted for the bill.

It just happened.

I will thank her for doing so.

As Grandma would say, “I was raised properly.”
