Backlog of cases before medical discipline board
The Maryland Commission on Medical Discipline is understaffed and underfunded, allowing some questioned doctors to continue practicing. Chairman Dr. John E. Adams cites a needed $170,000 increase to reach an $250,000 budget, with support from Health Secretary Charles Buck Jr. A proposed bill would add a $30 surcharge on doctor registrations to fund the panel. The commission faced a $60,000 budget last year and faces growing cases and staff shortages.

Hughes Plan Shifts Tax Funding For Transportation
Governor Hughes backs a revised transportation funding package that avoids a auto tag fee increase due to a larger state surplus. The plan diverts 89.1 million from the general fund to the transportation fund and raises corporate tax diversion to 3.5 percent from 1986, with allocations to the DOT and local jurisdictions and new funding to Frederick County.

Maryland urged to expand abortion funding for poor women
Annapolis reports the Maryland attorney general warned the state could lose 115 million dollars in federal Medicaid money unless it liberalizes abortion payment laws for poor women. The Supreme Court recently paused many abortion funding restrictions to await full review of a New York judge’s ruling on public expense abortions when certified by a physician. Medicaid shares indigent medical costs between state and federal government.
