Smelser proposes freezing state share of teachers Social Security taxes
Senator Charles H Smelser says he will introduce a bill to cap the state's 6 15 percent employers share of Social Security premiums for teachers, arguing counties set salaries and the state should not incur rising costs. He notes the plan could save about 9 million annually if educator pay rises 6 percent next year. The Linowes Commission and Maryland Chamber of Commerce back deducting annual increases from county educational aid.

Montgomery to back state bias law over county rule
A Montgomery County legislative panel will urge rescinding the county discrimination law in favor of a statewide bill. The courthouse measure allows civil actions for employee discrimination and was struck down by the Maryland Court of Appeals as a statewide issue. Proponents say the state bill would preempt local complaints, with no county opposition.
