Maryland General Assembly completes a cautious session
The Maryland General Assembly finished a restrained session in an election year, with little of Gov. Schaefer’s agenda approved. A $13.5 billion budget passed with few cuts, school construction boosted, year‑round school trials approved, domestic violence loopholes tightened, blood alcohol tests made mandatory in serious crashes, tougher prison terms for repeat offenders set, and state employee pay raised 3 percent.
