Assembly Opens Peacefully Despite Brewing Budget Battle
The 1957 General Assembly began tranquilly as Gov. McKeldin proposed a 7 million dollar budget balance by taxing tobacco. Democrats eyed alternatives amid tobacco interests in Southern Maryland while Eastern Shore concerns grew over sales tax. House and Senate leadership formed quick committee moves, with highway safety bills steered to a new panel and other money bills to Ways and Means. The opening pace aimed to turn a slow week into a flood of bills next week as sessions began with familiar leaders reelected and committee lines drawn.
