Maryland honoraria sweep highlights eight member House picks
Rep Beverly Byron placed third in honoraria from 1989 sources while Tom McMillen and Helen Delich Benney earned more. Byron donated 2000 from Tobacco Institute to Mount St Marys. McMillen gave 21300 to charity. Some lawmakers, like Steny Hoyer, Roy Dyson, and Constance Morella, reject honoraria. House ethics law now bars members from accepting speaking fees. Senate allows still.
