Annapolis, MD – The General Assembly is moving forward with legislation that will require the state to spend money on a new hospital in Prince George’s County, over the objections of the governor, who was trying to work out his own deal on the hospital.
The Senate voted 36-9 on Wednesday to approve a bill from Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller that would require the state to spend millions of dollars on the hospital over the next several years. Prince George’s County and the University of Maryland Medical System also will spend a certain amount on the hospital.
