2017 General Assembly Session Forecast

As usual, the upcoming legislative Session generates more questions than answers—both for officials in Annapolis, and those back in the county seats. How will softened revenue forecasts alter budget and spending priorities? What will become of unsettled laws on transportation spending and priorities? Is this a year for public safety reforms…yet again? The General Assembly’s two presiding officers, legislative minority leadership, and a policy advocate from the Administration will share their views on the issues confronting Annapolis for 2017 and beyond.
