Steering Committee Idea Rebuffed by Maryland Assembly
In Annapolis on Jan 2 the House rejected a plan for a Democratic steering committee to screen major legislation for 1957. The 159 vote against followed a Thursday caucus by 96 Democrats backing the idea. The Eastern Shore bloc and city Democrats pressed for the panel to curb state spending while others argued it unnecessary. A floated bill would restore budgetary control over state employee salaries, limiting governor and salary board actions. Also, a one day deer hunting season bill passed in the House. The Senate gave counties wider latitude in school contracts and related procurement.
