Advocates for developmentally disabled to rally

Posted: Updated:

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) - Advocates for the developmentally disabled will hold a rally to highlight the need for more services.

Advocates, family members and people who provide care will meet Tuesday in Annapolis.

Gov. Martin O'Malley is scheduled to address advocates before they hold a rally on Lawyers Mall near the Maryland State House.

Advocates say they will be thanking the Democratic governor for signing an increase in the alcohol tax last session and restoring funding that was lost in the past year. They also will be reminding O'Malley that there is more to do.
