Some say Busch may step down from the Speaker's position even before Miller retires. Not retire from the House altogether, as Miller will do fro mthe Senate, but just from the Speaker's office.
Although Busch will definitely stay through next session, The League hears he may relinquish the post by 2007 or 2008, opening the spot up for Del. Maggie McIntosh, the north Baltimore Democrat who has served in the House for 14 years and is well connected thanks to her political work.
