Bills target tobacco firms, renegotiation of Peter Angelos contract, and potential caps on future suits. The agenda also includes tax cuts, health care liability for patients against HMOs, and a state right of first refusal on major league team sales including the Orioles and Ravens.

Delaware seeks more EPA funds to fight Pfiesteria
Delaware officials fear a rainy winter could trigger a summer bloom of the fish-killing microbe Pfiesteria piscicida. Rep. Michael Castle pressed EPA Administrator Carol Browner to increase Delaware’s allocation beyond $200,000, noting the state initially requested $1.4 million and later $343,000, both unmet. The issue follows high-profile fish kills and health concerns tied to Pfiesteria, with Maryland and North Carolina already slated for larger grants to boost monitoring.

Monorail plans chugging along in Baltimore
Baltimore a p s report outlines a proposed elevated monorail from Camden Yards past the Inner Harbor into Little Italy and Fells Point.
