A member of the University System of Maryland’s Board of Regents who is a top fund raiser for Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. will have to choose between the two jobs under legislation approved late Monday by the state’s General Assembly, according to an article in The Diamondback, a student newspaper on the College Park campus.

The legislation bars regents from political fund raising and from running for office, and it could affect two regents, Richard E. Hug, the governor’s chief fund raiser, and James C. Rosapepe, a potential State Senate candidate. Governor Ehrlich, a Republican who is running for re-election, vetoed the bill, deriding it as “partisan politics.” But both chambers of the Democrat-controlled legislature overrode the veto on party-line votes.
