Session Round Up
The 2014 Maryland Legislative Session ended at midnight on April 7th. Thanks to your efforts, the proposed cap on Program Open Space was not included in the budget language. The legislature did not add any additional funds to the proposed Governor’s budget, but unlike previous years there were no additional cuts.
Program Open Space has many friends in the legislature. In each session there are multiple interests competing for limited funds. We need to continue to show the legislature that there is a strong constituency working to protect our farms, forests and open spaces.

Your help is needed to insure that future administrations carry through on the promises to fully fund Program Open Space!
