@BC4MD President Miller once told me directly and noted in many interviews that he was very proud of his role in passing landmark family legislation that changed how property was treated in divorce. No longer was it divided simply by title - it is divided equitably.
There are giants, and then there was Mike Miller— arguably the most legendary Maryland politician ever. I will always remember him joking and asking how the people of St. Mary’s were doing. He will certainly be missed and will always be remembered.

@TylerJOyler The headline is incorrect. In the article it is clear Speaker Jones said "the issue will be addressed," NOT that the issue has been addressed.
