Pr. George's officials say General Assembly helped county in tough times - Maryland Politics - The Washington Post

Prince George's County officials said Tuesday that despite the state's fiscal crisis, they emerged from the General Assembly with most of what they wanted, including crucial funds for the school system that could avert some layoffs and restore busing for magnet programs.

The county also won $3 million to help keep Rosecroft Raceway in Fort Washington afloat while it emerges from bankruptcy protection. That will help save jobs, said County Executive Rushern L. Baker III (D).
