Weekly Pay Bill Killed in Maryland Legislature
In Annapolis on March 14 the House rejected a bill to require weekly pay for Maryland workers, voting 65 to 35 against it as the Senate tentatively repealed the Declaration of Intent for voters to become citizens a year before registration. Delegates argued the measure would burden railroads with extra payroll costs, while supporters cited workers’ budgeting needs. The day also saw approval of measures on a new Hagerstown charter referendum, unemployment benefits for pensioners, optometrists’ professional standing, and a $2.5 million Patuxent River bridge project between Benedict and Hallowing Point, along with other highway advisories.
