State Roundup, November 30, 2012

Attorney General rules that counties can start the process for marriage licenses for gay couples so that weddings can occur on Jan. 1; state audit finds Aviation Administration seriously lacking in contract oversight; despite spate of spending, casino interests still have campaign money to burn; GOP Chairman Mooney’s fate up for grabs as state Republicans convene; Gov. O’Malley touts Maryland to President Obama as model in fight against climate change; MoCo vets may get their slots; and Terps fan Mike Miller was OK with Big Ten move.

State GOP convention has the usual firing squad and lynch mob

The preparations for this weekend’s Maryland Republican Convention are in place. The firing squad for the party leaders has been forming its circle, armed with hot-air popguns. The lynch mob for party chairman Alex Mooney has bought a bungee cord.

All is normal for a party that has control of local government in half of Maryland’s counties, but gets routinely clobbered at the statewide level. The snarky sniping and angry grumbling are fairly routine. Senate nominee Dan Bongino has some ideas for fixing the party.
