Senators Spar Over University Maryland Budget
Senator Alex Mooney criticized Maryland's funding for nine university vice chancellors while the budget increases by 0.3 percent amid 3.6 percent income growth. Minority Leader Lowell Stoltzfus of Somerset County, along with four other Republicans, supported the plan after previously opposing it as a bad budget. Stoltzfus framed the vote as a balance between cuts and pain, saying deeper cuts would be too hard.

Rick McIntire of the Maryland Department of the Environment agrees the rain helps soil but not recharge major indicators.
