ANNAPOLIS, Md. — The Maryland House of Delegates voted Thursday to adopt a $34 billion state budget, as a Senate panel approved a new 3 percent tax on alcohol sales that would raise $90 million over three years for the state.
The 97-42 vote was almost completely along party lines. During a budget debate in the House, Democrats praised the restoration of $58 million of $94 million in education funds that had been cut by Gov. Martin O’Malley’s budget plan.
