[edit] Background
Minnick was born in Dundalk, Maryland on March 16, 1933. He served in the United States Navy during the Korean War. Upon arriving home, he joined his brother Dan Minnick Jr. to take over the management of Minnick's Hollywood Inn, a family business founded by his grandfather in the early 1920s, now known as Minnick's Restaurant and Catering Business, Inc. Minnick has been active with both the Restaurant Association and with veteran's groups.
Minnick is a strong supporter of Small businesses in the State of Maryland, which have come under attack by many legislators who have very little knownledge of running a small business in this State. Many of those legislators I speak of have "all have good intentions" but do not realize the 'un-intended' consequences their actions cause small businesses.
[edit] In the Legislature
He is currently serving in his 5th term in the Maryland House of Delegates, representing Maryland's District 6 in Baltimore County. Minnick is a member of the Economic Matters Committee. During long debates on the House floor, the Speaker will often recognize Delegate Minnick who moves the previous question, allowing the Speaker to terminate lengthy debates.
