Maryland lawmakers seek no growth in Assembly budget
Maryland legislative leaders propose a no growth General Assembly budget for fiscal 1993 with cuts in office expenses and travel. A $1,000 pay raise for 188 lawmakers remains fixed by a four year plan, taking effect January 1, 1983, while meals and lodging allowances rise nominally. The subcommittee trimmed staffing funds and eliminated interior renovations, with senators and representatives facing reduced district office budgets and tighter operations.
