Maryland to pay 847 more per police car due to inflation
Maryland officials say the state will spend about 1,520,000 on 531 police cars before trade in, rather than the projected 1,064,000. Inflation and lost fleet discounts pushed actual costs to 2,862 per car, with net figures rising by 547. Governor Mandel calls this inflationary effect a drain on state funds while noting trade ins occur every two years. The piece ends with a note on cancer survival improvements and early diagnosis.
