<p>Correct, transit is included in expenses able to be paid by the Transportation Trust Fund. But the amendment prohibits the transfer of funds to any other fund for any other purpose (education, environmental cleanup, etc.) "<a href="http://www.elections.state.md.us/elections/2014/ballot_questions/Summary%20question%201%20-%20Chapter%20422%20of%202013.pdf" target="_blank">unless</a> the Governor declares a fiscal emergency by executive order and the General Assembly passes legislation by a supermajority vote approving a different use or a transfer of the funds":</p>

I cannot believe the democrats are stooping to GOP tactics!! Whoever these clowns are, they need a come to calling and in a very large way!! I am going to look these egregious "people" up and give them a what's what!! Please all do the same. It only takes a few minutes and is much more powerful than you can imagine!!
"Wacky"'s not the adjective I'd employ to describe this hateful bastard, anymore than I'd label the state's response to the Ferguson protests as "screwy".
Let's call him what he is
A stone sociopath.
