After years of having his name bandied about as a potential candidate for all sorts of races, Republican former Del. Ken Holt says this time he’s really considering a return to politics and a run for Baltimore County Executive.

Holt served in the House of Delegates from 1995 to 1999. Since leaving the House Republicans break his name out of their hermetically sealed container of potential candidates every few years and whisper that Holt is running for (insert office here).

Burns to offer bill prohibiting recognition of same-sex marriage

By Bryan P. Sears
Posted: January 14, 2010

Del. Emmett Burns said he plans to file a bill Thursday or Friday that will prohibit the state from recognizing same-sex marriages performed in other states.

The Democrat and Baptist minister represents the 10th district, including Randallstown and Woodlawn, and has been a staunch opponent of same sex-marriage. Burns has sponsored several bills related to the issue over the last few years.

“I’ve fought this fight over the last 12 years,” Burns said. “Now with Washington D.C. approving (same-sex marriage), it’s needed more than ever.”

Burns said his bill will ban so-called foriegn marriages — unions performed out of state if the couples are of the same sex.
