Tidewater panel stalls as lawmakers weigh pay raises and bonds
In Annapolis the Senate must act on Tidewater nominees after the House backed a $300 teacher pay raise with tax funding questions. A Senate test vote approved a veterans bonus measure 17 to 11, but both measures face veto risk from Governor McKeldin who opposes tax increases. Separate bond bills seek a $5.09 million state office building in Annapolis. A Baltimore shooting at Mount Calvary church left a widowed woman injured and a man dead by suicide. Nearby, National Geographic notes Morrocan tribes view cameras with suspicion.
