Kudos to Gov. Wes Moore for standing up for the Fourth Estate

A shout out to Gov. Wes Moore who on Thursday made a tough call on legislation about which most Marylanders are likely unaware. He vetoed House Bill 1258, a measure sponsored by Del. Elizabeth Embry, a Baltimore Democrat, that would have created a website to carry legal notices required to settle estates and trusts. Under current state law, when someone dies, the local register of wills must publish an advertisement in a local newspaper so potential claims by creditors or unknown heirs can be filed against the estate.
