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.
