Not Enough Money For Constitution
ANNAPOLIS AP The proposed budget sent to the legislature lists 4.76 million dollars to finance writing a new Maryland constitution but Gov Agnew says that will not be enough. Vernon Eney, chair of the Constitutional Convention Commission, says more money will be needed to cover expenses before the constitution can go to voters for approval or rejection. The governor says this is troubling for cost reasons and hopes legislative leaders will discuss ways to hold down expenses.
