Speaker Peña-Melnyk grew up in the Dominican Republic, and came from poverty. Would you like to read an in depth description of the 19 bills that the General Assembly voted on yesterday to override the governor's vetoes? Are you interested in learning about the budget and what Marylanders think of it? You can do all of this and more by reading Maryland Matters, which is now on NFB Newsline. The Friends of LBPD made it possible by providing a grant. New issues are posted every weekday, with lots of good stories and interesting information.
