Maryland Board To Consider Abolishing 63 Positions

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) -- The Maryland Board of Public Works is scheduled to consider abolishing 63 positions in the state's Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services.

Gov. Larry Hogan is making the proposal to the board, which is set to consider the request at a meeting Thursday in Annapolis.

Abolishing the positions would take a majority vote of the three-member board. The members include Hogan, Comptroller Peter Franchot and Treasurer Nancy Kopp.

The 63 positions are in the department's Human Resources Services Division. The reduction would save roughly $3 million.
