text:  In Maryland, we have what's called the citizen legislature, which means that we're all part-timers. Historically, the legislature was really just for farmers and folks that would go down to Annapolis for a few months of the year, handle all the state's business, and then go back to their communities and get back to work. So for me, the nine months that I'm not in Annapolis, I'm working. I'm a working man like you, Tim. So I practice law throughout the state.
