Maryland Senate President Bill Ferguson on Wednesday announced a $520 million amendment to Gov. Larry Hoganâs state relief plan that would provide immediate relief to residents, local governments, struggling non-profits and small businesses.
The âSenate Recovery Nowâ amendment is broken down into eight parts, which include tens of millions of dollars in relief that, if added to Hoganâs (R) âRELIEF Act of 2021,â could be allocated immediately to fill areas the lawmakers have identified as having been particularly impacted by the coronavirus pandemic.
The proposed additions to the governorâs plan will likely see some changes as the amendment moves through the state legislature, but Ferguson (D-Baltimore city) said heâs confident there will be a âjoint effortâ among senators and delegates to reach an agreement.
