Anne Arundel wins some, loses some at General Assembly

Anne Arundel received millions of dollars in bond bills and higher fees in the 2008 General Assembly, but the county took a notable revenue hit, lawmakers said.

The state legislature approved the county?s push to increase fees on well drillers and restaurants, approved a requirement for the Maryland Department of the Environment to repay the county for testing during the coal fly ash incident, and approved more than $1 million in grant funding for new art houses and homeless shelters.
