Maryland health advocates from the American Cancer Society and the American Heart Association protest Governor Glendening's plan to withhold part of the state's pledge from a 10 year plan tied to Maryland's share of nationwide tobacco settlement funds. They insist two medical research programs receive full funding despite budget gaps and a dispute over Peter Angelos' legal fees.

Maryland child poverty falls again but ranks second nationwide
Maryland’s child poverty rate eased to 6.5 percent in 1999, boosting the state to second nationally after Utah but leaving room for improvement. Education gains appeared, with drops in the share of students failing to meet high school requirements and lower injury rates, though homelessness rose and birth weights and domestic violence services increased. Governor Townsend called for broader progress.
