McIntosh D-Baltimore City , chair of the committee, said most of the funding for the program is not used for research that involves embryonic stem cells, which have fallen out of favor by many researchers, and that the embryonic cell lines used today were developed decades ago. The House voted to accept the committee amendment, and rejected a corresponding amendment proposed by Hornberger by a similar margin.

House Democrats also voted down other proposed amendments from Del. Kathy Szeliga R-Baltimore County that would have restricted reimbursement payments for medical providers who conduct abortions and from Del.

Do you support the findings of the Commission on Innovation and Excellence in Education? Are you committed to funding associated reforms, and if so, how? McIntosh : As a member of the Kirwan Commission, I very strongly support the findings in the preliminary report and look forward to continuing to meet and make recommendations before our final report is completed.

The amendment directs money in the lockbox be used on areas of need already identified by the Kirwan Commission. Does the state have the resources to meet its transportation needs? With the cancellation of the Red Line and the advent of BaltimoreLink, is the Baltimore region adequately served by transit? The recent emergency closure of the Baltimore subway is a testament to that.

Transportation is one of the largest areas state investment, and I do believe we have enough resources to meet our transportation needs. The question is how do we prioritize our resources in a forward-thinking way. BaltimoreLink has rolled out with mixed results, though an overhaul of our bus network was long overdue. Yet just investing in the bus network is not enough. One of the unheralded accomplishments of this session for the Baltimore region was including provisions in the Metro Funding Act to increase operating and capital investment in MTA service throughout the Baltimore region coupled with a comprehensive transit needs assessment for the region, similar to what the Washington, DC region did a decade ago.

The needs assessment will be invaluable to determining where and to what level additional state investment is needed to improve public transit in the Baltimore region. Do you support the legalization of recreational marijuana? McIntosh : I believe that the tide of public opinion is turning on marijuana legalization and I would vote for legislation to permit the recreational use of marijuana should it come to the House floor. There are enough states who have already experimented with recreational marijuana legalization that Maryland would have a clear idea of the potential impact on public health and public safety.

One note I would add, I believe that should Maryland move to permit recreational marijuana the attendant laws and regulations must be developed with an eye towards equity and include provisions to ensure that racial and ethnic minorities that have been disproportionately impacted by the War on Drugs are not shut out of any new industry.

In the absence of federal action, the state of Maryland has an obligation to protect our most valuable natural resource.

This session saw the General Assembly take a number of actions to protect the Bay. First, we affirmed that Maryland will remain in the US Climate Alliance, a group of states that have committed to greenhouse gas reduction goals.

We also passed legislation to prohibit the Governor from withdrawing from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative without legislative consent.
