Special Session On Budget Begins

>Tonight, with a speech at 8pm, Governor O’Malley kicks off the week-long special session on the state budget. There are many controversial proposals on the table, including slot machines (“video lottery terminals”), and a hike in sales tax. So far, though, there has been little in the way of detail.

For those who like to follow the inner workings of government and watch sausage being made, here is a schedule.

• Gas tax: Wednesday morning
• Tobacco tax hike: Thursday morning
• Sales tax increase (“expansion”): Thursday afternoon
• Slots: Friday morning
