The 2016 session of the Maryland Assembly kicked off at noon Wednesday (January 13). With Governor Larry Hogan enjoying strong approval ratings, he carries a mandate into this year’s session that Democratic legislators may find hard to overcome when they lock horns on issues like tax cuts, education funding and criminal justice reform.
Today we touch on some of the big issues that lawmakers will consider between now and April. Joining Tom by phone from Annapolis is Erin Cox, the State House Bureau Chief for the Baltimore Sun.
WYPR’sRachelBaye is also in Annapolis, keeping us up to date on what promises to be a very busy 436th session of the Maryland Assembly.
