The Maryland State compensation bill, governor of the state, Wes Moore, evades support questions

A Maryland Bell To establish a committee to study compensation – including financial recovery – is moving forward, where its final obstacle is expected to be applied to the Council of Delegates, while the ruler tries to avoid questions about whether he supports the proposal.

The draft law, a priority for the Black Black Assembly in Maryland, approved the Senate in the middle of last month before the intersection day, which represents the informal deadline of legislative leaders in the General Assembly for the Transfer of Laws to the other legislative chamber that they plan to send to the ruler for the final approval.

The draft law received a positive vote in the designated parliament committee on Friday, WBF said. It is expected that it will be voted in the full parliament before the legislative session will go next week.

A minority in the Senate, Saq Justin, a Republican, told WBFF that he does not understand the reason for the progress of the compensation bill, as the state faces a deficit of $ 3.3 billion, which is expected to exceed more than 6.7 billion dollars by the fiscal year 2028.

“We do not have money now to explore these options,” “(R) The issue of compensation, I am sure that strong opinions, but the fact is that it is just something that is not financially possible, whether you think it is a good idea or not.”

“I wonder if the use of taxpayer funds will be appropriate in this context,” he added. “Even by returning to when compensation was paid to the Holocaust survivors, they followed the companies that have participated. Not yet the taxpayers.”

The proposed committee is expected to initially cost the taxpayers in Maryland’s state of $ 54,500 annually, according to the Ministry of Non -party Legislative Services in Maryland.

Last year, the California compensation team issued a report after a two -year study in which the state was summoned to issue an official apology for slavery and other racist grievances and provide financial payments. The report recommended the financial recovery formula that would provide qualified recipients up to $ 1.2 million each, although legislators in the state have not yet received a vote for the first payments.

The governor of Maryland Wes Moore, a democratic, has evaded questions about his state of law since its introduction in January. He was asked at that time if he supports this procedure, but he turned his focus into Economic priorities.

“Nah, we will work with the General Assembly Maryland on a full set of different issues,” Moore told WBF. “Our focus is economic progress; our focus is economic growth. It makes sure that we can really meet people in their place, and make life more affordable. We are updating the state government.”

The ruler was again asked about this case during his visit to celebrate the opening of a house of Timore Oreols on Monday afternoon at the Piccles Pact. Try WBFF to talk to him, but requests have been rejected. The port arrived at the ruler’s office after his appearance in the pub, but the response of the spokesperson did not address questions related to the compensation bill.

Ready WBF told that the draft law could harm Moore’s national attention over the past year.

“I do not think that the governor of the state, Moore, wants this to his office because I think it is distraction that trying to solve real problems.” (R) here some people may be motivated, in some way, but many of them are on the sidelines. “
