Lawmakers Near Approval of Maryland Budget Compromise
Maryland lawmakers prepared to approve a $68 million reduction plan reducing county aid including $5.9 million for Frederick. Frederick County faces $2.8 million in new cuts plus $3.1 million prior, with other cuts to towns, Frederick Community College, Board of Education, health department, and library board as part of the 1992 fiscal year. The General Assembly holds a 9 a.m. public hearing on $446 million in cuts proposed by Gov. Schaefer, with reconvening to discuss an emergency bill to implement early cuts as soon as Oct. 14. Senate President Mike Miller and House Leader Poole voiced expectations of passage. If defeated, the governor's original package could take effect, including trooper firings and welfare reductions. The compromise shifts reductions from welfare and state police to counties already facing aid losses this year. Governor Schaefer previously rejected a plan allowing more education funding cuts and unpaid holidays for workers.
