Suburban fees challenge state budget in Maryland court
A group of 11 Maryland General Assembly members filed suit in Anne Arundel County Circuit Court claiming Governor Mandel's 1977 budget is unbalanced. They argue $95 million of revenue depends on future legislation and cite a 1974 constitutional amendment. The suit targets three items: $35 million lottery windfall, $39 million contingent receipts from taxes on public utilities banks and insurers, and $21 million in federal revenue sharing.

Reluctance on Pallottine probe amid auditing questions
Maryland Atty. Gen. Francis B. Burch says he will not rush to convene a grand jury against the Pallottine Fathers over financial affairs. He cites potential religious interference and notes lingering questions after an Arthur Andersen audit showing $20.4 million raised in 18 months, with most funds not reaching overseas missions. Gov. Mandel is not involved, while a receiver could be sought if a criminal case or equity action is pursued.
