Senate votes down utilities tax change in Annapolis
In Annapolis on March 2 a 20 to 9 Senate vote rejected Del Whitworths plan to shift more than three million dollars in utilities shares tax from Baltimore City and three counties to 20 other counties. The debate featured attacks by Sen Kimble against Whitworth as ethically deficient. Whitworth, seen as a potential state senate candidate, faced broader fiscal marching orders as senators recommitted the 7.3 million bond bill and a state office building bill to Finance. The session also saw delays on a veterans bonus bill and railroad tax adjustments as the budget process remains unsettled amid a looming tax and revenue plan.
