Also on Monday, the Transportation, Infrastructure, Energy and Environment Committee (T&E) begins its discussions of transportation items, and the HHS Committee considers aging and disabilities services and special needs housing.
On Tuesday, April 12, the combined HHS/Education Committees look at various children’s programs, and the T&E Committee takes up utilities, including WSSC.
On Wednesday, April 13, the HHS Committee looks at grants, including the Arts and Humanities Council; the PHED Committee takes up economic development issues; and the GO Committee looks at issues related to communications and technology.
