Roads Commission expansion and Maryland political clash
A bill to raise the roads commission to five members faces debate with potential follow ons to empower Montgomery county council to appoint school board members if defeated. Senate leaders warn of a chain reaction across counties while lawmakers dispute current partisan appointment practices. Meanwhile a Chesapeake Bay Bridge celebration drew 300 dignitaries with a picket line by AFL carpenters protesting Virginia workers on the project. Governor Lane and others attended as a dragline started the first mud. In a separate note, discussions on mental hospital funding and oversight continued, with federal health officials to study conditions.
