Two bills that passed the Maryland General Assembly just before its 2011 session ended are nothing more than toothless tigers that will do precious little to change the pay-to-pay culture that lets developers get what they want in Prince George's County....
Current law allows county-level elected officials to receive indirect contributions from developers while, at the same time, being allowed to participate in the review of those same developers' projects in the county.
Sadly, however, the bills that the General Assembly approved on April 7, 2011 (SB 902 and HB 1089) fall far short of making meaningful reforms.
