The Maryland Senate on Thursday adjourned in memory of former Sen. Paula Kolodny Hollinger, who died the previous day, leadership said.
The majority leader recounted Hollinger’s decades of public service, noting her election to the House of Delegates (first elected 1979), later election to the Senate in 1986, committee leadership including chairing education and health-related committees, and subsequent public service at the Department of Health. "We extend our sincere condolences to her husband, Paul, and their children and grandchildren," the majority leader said.
A senator moved that the Senate adjourn in her honor; the motion carried without objection. The majority leader then moved that the Senate stand adjourned until Friday, March 27, for an 11:00 a.m. pro forma session; the presiding officer ordered it so.
The Senate asked that details about arrangements be shared through the secretary’s office when available.
