Summary
The city's lobbyists outlined a $71 billion state budget with growing out-year deficits, a failed bill that would have preempted local zoning, and a transportation grant fix that didn't pass — putting roughly $100 million in local transportation funding at risk statewide. Mason's Law will require Bowie to inventory open drainage inlets by 2027.
