from Midday · host Baltimore 88.1 WYPR
Last Monday, legislators in Annapolis celebrated Sine Die, the last day of the General Assembly session. A $3.3 billion-dollar budget deficit loomed large over the Session this year, with unknown federal funding cuts a complicating factor as the legislature debated ways to balance the budget. Pamela Wood, politics and government reporter for The Baltimore Banner, joins Midday to discuss how lawmakers worked there way out of a unenviable fiscal situation. Plus, Frederick County's Del. Kris Fair provides an inside look at the session and the legislation he worked on. Then, Jayne Miller, an award-winning investigative journalist who now hosts the Maryland Capital podcast, joins the show to talk about new affordable housing legislation and potential cuts to Medicaid and SNAP.
