The Week Ahead

The conference committees meet this week to hammer out the differences between the House and Senate Operating Budgets.  Last week we analyzed the differences between the House and Senate budgets.  You can see MBTPI's recommendations for the conference committees and contact committee members here.  The House and Senate also have a number of hearings on the capital budget. 

Monday, March 26th
Monday is Crossover Day.  This is the deadline for each chamber to send the other those bills it intends to pass.  Bills sent across the hall after this date will be referred to the Rules Committee instead of the relevant committee based on their substance, and may not get heard.

Friday, March 30th  
The Bureau of Labor Statistics will release state employment figures for February 2012.  In January Maryland's unemployment rate dropped to 6.5 percent, its lowest rate in three years.
