Six Issues, approximately every two weeks, commencing the end of January and with a Wrap-up issue in mid-April.

REPORT FROM STATE CIRCLE covers a broad spectrum of social, economic, environmental and governmental proposals before the Maryland General Assembly which the League will be monitoring, including the Governor’s Budget and important legislative events. LWVMD Reporters will cover these issues from the League perspective, including our long-considered positions and our 2011 Legislative Priorities.

• Supporting an equitable and efficient fiscal structure that provides adequate funding for public services (Public Transportation, Healthcare Coverage, Affordable Housing, Children’s Services)
• Monitoring the state redistricting process and standards that promote fair and effective representation in the Maryland legislature and US House of Representatives with maximum opportunity for public scrutiny. Redistricting plans should be based on substantially equal population.
• Continuing to work for fair and open government, sound election practices, and campaign finance reform.
