Court clears way for tax referendum in two Maryland counties
The Court of Appeals ruled property tax limit initiatives in Anne Arundel and Baltimore counties constitutional but rejected rolling back revenues to 1988-89 levels. Voters will decide November 6, with Montgomery County also eligible for two growth limit measures. The decision affirms existing limits in Talbot and Prince George's counties and faces anticipated opposition from public sector unions.

Maryland hiring freeze threatens wetlands protection program
Environmentalists and developers warn the state hiring freeze could cripple Maryland non tidal wetlands oversight starting January 1. Of 39 funded positions, 20 remain unfilled, delaying permit reviews for building on, draining, or filling freshwater marshes and bogs, potentially reducing Chesapeake Bay filtration. DNR leaders urge an exception to add staff, with Deputy Secretary Griffin expressing cautious optimism about expansion.
