2015 Session

The 2015 legislative session is upon us. For the first time in eight years, the heavily Democratic General Assembly will be partnered with a Republican governor on policy and budget issues. Furthermore, about a third of legislators are new officeholders. This much change in Annapolis is sure to result in an interesting 90 days. Session starts January 14th.
