Maryland Black Caucus Opposes Bill to Revive Cash Bail

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — The Legislative Black Caucus of Maryland is opposing a bill that would revive the role of cash bail for people in jail.
The caucus voted 31-5 on Thursday against a bill that has passed the Senate. The measure, which passed the Senate 29-18, has the support of the bail bond industry.
Del. Cheryl Glenn, a Baltimore Democrat who chairs the caucus, says the vote sends a strong message to the House that the caucus doesn’t want to see the measure advance.
