I am fine tuning my response.

I’ve gotten lots of positive comments on Facebook for my vote for the death with dignity bill that passed the House last week.

However, I’ve also received critical messages from individuals and groups.

This is an issue that deserves a response where I explain what the bill will do in detail and why I voted for it.

I spent more than an hour today revising the draft prepared by my staff. Now I’m seeking comments from several friends and advisers.

I will share with you the final version.

One person emailed me in opposition to the bill and also asked me about an important neighborhood issue.

That combination goes to the heart of what I do.

We make public policy in Annapolis. Equally important, we are advocates for our constituents on neighborhood issues back home.
