The Maryland House of Delegates on Friday condemned one of its own, Del. Dan K. Morhaim (D-Baltimore County), for using his legislative perch to influence medical marijuana regulators without publicly disclosing that he was a paid consultant to a prospective dispensary.
The 138-to-0 vote for a resolution of reprimand follows an investigation by the Joint Committee on Legislative Ethics, which concluded that Morhaim’s actions were “improper” and violated the principles — if not the letter — of state ethics law.

“It is our duty to uphold the integrity of this body by rejecting improper influences,” Del. Adrienne A. Jones (D-Baltimore County), co-chair of the ethics committee, said on the House floor Friday.
