Four Times As Much Road Help Wanted For Maryland Counties
Annapolis Feb 13 State Association of County Commissioners backs a plan to quadruple county shares in a 12 year highway project. About 25 members from eight counties seek 500 dollars per mile of county roads annually and incorporated streets, replacing part of a one cent gas tax increase. Counties would gain about 80 million over 12 years, far higher than the state share. Hooper says counties deserve more without harming state roads. Additional notes include a proposed teachers pay raise study and opposition to roadside highway designation rules, plus budgeting for a new legal advisor at 1000 dollars annually.
