ReplyDeleteUpdate: Committee Co-Chair Sen. Bill Ferguson, D-Baltimore City, said that the committee will develop a website between now and its next meeting. In the meantime, he said, members want to get public feedback about transparency in the state. He encouraged people to send their suggestions for transparency – or frustrations about the lack thereof – to committee staff member Lisa Simpson at lisa.simpson@mlis.state.md.us.
