Cross-Over Deadline Approaches

3/13/2018

 
Picture
The 69th day of the legislative session is the "cross-over" deadline, the date by which bills have to be passed from one chamber to the other to be guaranteed a hearing in the other chamber.  This year's cross-over day is March 19th and the work will gear up considerably between now and then.  As I write this, four of my pieces of legislation have already passed the House and two more are on the House floor.
As always, you can always keep up with what I am doing by following me at @mkorman on Twitter or clicking "Like" on Delegate Marc Korman on Facebook.

Legislative News

Two of my legislative priorities passed the House of Delegates last week: the Maryland Metro/Transit Funding Act and the Maryland Pension Climate Risk Act.  These bills now head to the Senate for further action.
----
A large part of my work in Annapolis is devoted to reviewing the state's annual budget.  I serve on the Education and Economic Development Subcommittee of the Appropriations Committee which means we have primary oversight of all the state's education and economic development programs.  After a month and a half of oversight hearings, the subcommittee made its budget decisions today.  The budget originated in the Senate this year, which means that the subcommittee either concurred with, rejected, or modified the Senate decisions regarding recommendations from the Department of Legislative Services.  Those decisions now go to the full Appropriations Committee for consideration.
----
Legislation to fund and reform Metro made significant progress in Virginia this past weekend, as reported by the Washington Post.  Maryland Matters provided a recent update on the status in Maryland.

Administration News

The state's Board of Revenue Estimates issued updated projections for the General Fund budget today. The current fiscal year projections were reduced by $39 million. Projections for the next fiscal year were increased by $433 million, which appears to be largely driven by the federal tax changes.

Campaign News

Interested in helping my campaign talk to voters?  We will be holding a group canvass onSaturday, March 17 at noon.  If you would like to help, please email joe@marckorman.com.
----
My campaign for re-election was recently endorsed by the Brickyard Coalition.  I greatly appreciate the support of this grassroots community organization based in my district.

  • The District 16 Delegation and Councilman Berliner have been working with the community on improving the Braeburn Parkway and River Road intersection near Whitman High School. The community came up with an approach and requested that the State Highway Administration study it, which to their credit they did do. After some back and forth, the agency released the Project Impact Report that resulted from their work. You can review it here: http://www.roads.maryland.gov/OC/Braeburn-Pkwy-Traffic-Study.pdf
