Legislature Near End As Beer Tax And Public Defender Move Forward
ANNAPOLIS AP The Maryland Legislature aims to adjourn its 90 day session today with key items stalled by House action. A beer tax hike to nine cents a gallon was nearly enacted after the Senate rejected a move to double whiskey and wine taxes. A statewide public defender system, approved by the Senate, awaited House action. Gov Mandel’s merit system plan for local election board employees also hung in the balance. The session seeks to end by Sunday, avoiding a final day. The House completed a reapportionment bill delaying decisions on district lines for a year, setting 180 total members, with a compromise on chamber composition. Also enacted were Del Marlowe’s aid to private colleges and universities, cut to about 1.4 million after eligibility limits, and a bill banning visible smoke from vehicle exhausts.
