Bushong Attacks Salary Equalization Bill In Debate
Annapolis reports Senator Bushong charged the administration with political maneuvering over a proposed salary equalization bill. He alleged $250,000 earmarked for Baltimore City to gain votes and warned Western Maryland senators could oppose the broad appropriations. The measure, tied to a three cent tax increase in 18 counties, faced delay as a bloc of Western Maryland and other lawmakers pressed for budget safeguards and alternative funding. The controversy threatened funding for a $107,443,000 state budget and capital improvements, implicating the State Roads Commission ferry purchase and prompting anticipated clashes over related reorganizational legislation. Estimated annual cost to Washington voters for matching teacher salaries was cited at about $47,890.
