Legislative update: MD lawmakers grapple with taxes, juvenile justice, health care


Listen Later

Maryland’s legislature will wrap up its work this year in three-and-a-half weeks. What will it have done, and how will it affect residents of the Free State?

The most fundamental task of any legislative session--even if it doesn’t claim the most headlines--is to pass a budget that’s balanced: which means expected tax revenues high enough to pay for what the state plans to spend. There’s a tug-of-war right now between the House and Senate about taxes.

We’re talking about that and other important legislation this morning with WYPR News Director Matt Bush.
