Special Session Starts Today

Five weeks after ending their regular 90-day session, members of the Maryland General Assembly come back to Annapolis today for a special session that is expected to last three days. 

Lawmakers are expected to consider a series of tax changes and spending cuts to cut 500-million off of the state's strucutral deficit, and avoid what Democrats call a "doomsday budget."

Governor Martin O'Malley and other Democrats say the "doomsday budget" would have cut $512-million in public school, higher education and public safety spending.  It also would have included the layoff of 500 state workers.
