Maryland lawmakers approve an 89.2 million tax package to fund social programs and cover 1991 welfare budget gaps. The proposal would raise cigarette prices by about 12 cents, extend the 5 percent sales tax to many low priced foods, and cut a tax break on investment income, taking effect June 1 if enacted. The plan aims to fund aid for Baltimore and services for the handicapped and mental health care.
