Education funding reform faces uphill House battle in Annapolis
In Annapolis a plan to grant county governments budget flexibility for education is advancing through the House Ways and Means from a 41 vote. It reshapes the maintenance of effort rule and would create a five year study period. Supporters include Delegate Henry Heller, but critics from school boards teachers unions and PTAs warn of funding cuts. Frederick County officials show mixed reactions with some backing the revised formula and others opposing it as still a cut from current levels.

Reeder backs higher tip jar share to boost charity funds
Maryland official Bruce Reeder argues to the Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee that raising the taverns share of tip jar proceeds from 30 to 40 percent will spur more bars to sponsor jars for charities. The bill also trims reporting rules and allows Sunday gaming from 11 a.m. instead of 1 p.m.
