Legislature Faces Unfinished Business With Three Weeks Left
Annapolis Md March 12 With just three more weeks of its 1951 session the General Assembly still has most top priority bills on the unfinished list. Governor McKeldin’s 27460 000 budget and a proposed 5 000 000 giveway are under review as the administration plans a supplemental request. Proposals include a construction bond measure borrowing 15 to 20 million for state buildings and pay raises for teachers. Tax policy remains tight as a hold the line stance persists. Heavy truck weight limits and related penalties prompt trucking opposition, while a civilian defense plan funding is also debated. The veterans bonus referendum and Marsden constitutional questions also loom, with night sessions likely. The Marsland convention rejection means no statewide constitutional rewrite after May 21, and the Jim Crow repeal of the Maryland ferry system stands enacted.
