In Annapolis fierce exchanges between Baltimore City senators and Senator Phipps over the Maryland Port Authority heated the floor. Dempsey proposed excluding the county from taxation on condemnation property, while Bertorelli urged clarity and defended city interests. The joint subcommittee gathered amendments and eyed financing options including a gasoline tax shift, corporate tax changes, and racing revenue, as plans for a two million dollar annual budget and a 14 million dollar capital program moved forward.
