Newspaper Interests Help Block Advertising Cut in Maryland
Posted: 3/11/2013 | By: Len Lazarick | marylandreporter.com
For the fifth year in a row, the comptroller has tried to save
taxpayers more than $500,000 in advertising costs, and representatives
of the newspaper industry have managed to block the cut.
State law has long required the comptroller to publish a list of unclaimed property and put it in local newspapers. The unclaimed property includes items found in abandoned safe deposit boxes, and forgotten savings and stock accounts.
