Delegate Roll Call

Complete listing for DC area delegates available from the Washington Post.

Del. Ben Kramer (D-Montgomery) followed this lead of his sister, Sen. Rona Kramer, is voting against the bill increasing the sales tax, the vehicle titling tax, and the tobacco tax which passed 80-56. Del. Luiz Simmons (D-Montgomery) also voted no. Dels. Wood (D-St. Mary's) and Sophocleus (D-Anne Arundel) also voted no. No other Democrats from Montgomery, Prince George's, Charles, Calvert, Howard, or St. Mary's voted no (assuming that the Post included all delegates from these counties in the DC area and not just some of them). No Republicans voted in favor.

The income tax bill passed the House on a vote of 82-55. The same delegates who voted no on the first bill also voted no on this one. They were joined by Dels. Beidle (D-Anne Arundel), Dumais (D-Montgomery), Feldman (D-Montgomery), Levy (D-Charles), and Walker (D-Prince George's). Once again, no Republicans voted yes. Dels. Jameson (D-Charles) and Montgomery (D-Montgomery) did not vote on either bill.
