Walmartwatch.com announced that bill originally vetoed by Maryaldn's Republican governor passed. The Fair Share Health Care plan is the first law of its kind in the country, and it now requires those employers with over 10,000 employees to make healthcare affordable to their employees.
According to the site, the bill did not target Wal-Mart as its opponents calimed but it was the Arkansas-based retailer's neglicence towards paying healthcare for their 17,000 employees in Maryland which helped bring the matter to the state floor in Annapolis.
The site said that this story made the front page of The Washington Post, The New York Times and even The Guardian of London.

In our own state, legislators were busy passing a bill that bans gay marriage. Of course, it is doing well. I'm not gay, but I think this is a ridicilous exercise brought on by holier-than-thou evangelicals who are worried that somehow gay marriage will corrupt 'the noble instituion" that is modern marriage. I can't imagine that any efforts in Richmond, or any other state capital for that matter, can undo the damage which has already been done!
