Maryland House speaker pushes agency consolidation plan
Annapolis AP report says House Speaker R Clayton Mitchell aims to shrink state government by merging five agencies into two and uniting state police with natural resources police, a move opposed by Gov William Donald Schaefer who warns against reorganization before the next administration. Mitchell targets a 20 percent budget cut, while Schaefer doubts savings. Mitchell cites efficiency gains and backs creation of a Budgetary and Technological Development Department from three agencies. Allies include Delegate Ellen Sauerbrey who backs the plan, though Senate leaders want Schaefer’s approval. A Nov 1 deadline is set for the governor to present plans to the 199 legislature, with consolidation not to begin before July 1, 1994.

Inauguration slows Maryland General Assembly start
The 1993 Maryland General Assembly begins with a slow first week as many lawmakers attend Bill Clinton's inauguration. Senate leaders warn of reduced floor activity while the Schaefer administration submits a timely fiscal 1994 budget with no tax increases, a near 4 percent spending rise, restored local aid, and small raises for about 40 percent of state workers.
