Very recently, our local Maryland delegate, Saqib Ali, helped a number of students in regard to a specific fee (“Because of Delegate Ali’s intervention, more than 400 graduating Magruder seniors will each receive a $5 refund when they empty their lockers later this month.”)

Please read more about Delegate Ali’s efforts on the Gazette.net website:
