How is it that the four Republicans on the Personnel Committee -- House Minority Leader George Edwards, State Rep. Jean Cryor, Senate Minority Leader J. Lowell Stoltzfus, State Sen. John Hafter -- do not have subpoena powers of their own?
The governor's press secretary just said on WBAL radio that he wants to continue to pressure the Committee to subpoena FR for proof of a connection between Ryan O'Doherty, MD4Bush, and a Washington Post reporter.
The Republicans have no subpoena power. When the MD Democrats created the special committee "investigating" Governor Ehrlich's alleged illegal firing of Democrat political hacks, I think they required a majority vote to issue a subpoena. The Republicans are in the minority. So they can't subpoena anyone on their own.
