Will there be white smoke from the State House, similar to the Vatican in papal elections, on Thursday? File photo
After days of tension, rumors and burned-up telephone lines, the Senate Democratic Caucus is meeting at 10 a.m. Thursday in Annapolis.
Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller Jr. (D-Calvert) is expected to give caucus members an update on his health, something he promised to do during the last legislative session. Miller has also announced that he will hold a news conference at noon “to discuss the upcoming legislative session.”
What happens behind closed doors in that two-hour period – or longer, if the caucus meeting drags on – is impossible to predict.
As of late Wednesday, the senators themselves didn’t know. Neither did Miller’s staff.
