Catholic Leaders Clash Over Abortion Bill Excommunication Threats
Area Catholic leaders dispute a lobbyist threat to excommunicate any legislator who votes for the abortion bill. They oppose the Supreme Court ruling granting a woman the right to choose within three months and say excommunication would depend on case specifics. The Maryland bill seeks to align state law with the high court ruling, with mixed reactions from local clergy and politicians.

Bill sets 90 day limit for wetlands dredging approval

Senate Enlarges Land Board and boosts rural power
In Annapolis the Maryland Senate expanded the Mandel James land use board from five to nine members by a 35-2 vote. The plan gives rural counties four seats and designates regions for one seat each, with agriculture guaranteed a single seat. Critics warn the board’s guidelines could steer local zoning and development, effectively widening state involvement in hearings, permits, and appeals. The bill also requires legislative approval of a statewide development plan by 1975, but faces strong opposition and an uphill battle for passage.
