Governing magazine has just published a long profile of Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller Jr. (D-Calvert) that seeks to get to the heart of his history-shattering tenure. The piece is called “Master of the Middle.”
It does not tread a lot of new ground for those who have been following Miller’s extraordinary career closely, but it does a very nice job of summing up his history and the history of Maryland over the past several decades; Miller’s leadership style and flexibility; and the challenges he will face in the months ahead.
It is definitely worth the read: http://www.governing.com/topics/politics/gov-mike-miller-maryland-senate-leader.html
