joseph suit, but did not have to pay. the settlement is the end of what began as a complaint from three whistleblowing cardiac surgeons who work for a competitor of midlantic cardiovascular associates. the whistle-blowers will now split $2.7 million from the settlement. >> when referrals are made based on the amount how much money is paid, not on the basis of getting you to the best position, that is wrong. that is what they were concerned with. it is not sour grapes at all. people's lives are at stake here. >> of sediment target st. josephs or fraudulent claims, the settlement still says dr. midei performed unnecessary stent procedures. >> in some cases we have pursue criminal charges when we have -- when we believe we have evidence beyond a reasonable doubt. clain washn mclea acquitted. we are live in baltimore city. george lettis, wbal-tv 11 news. >> maryland's budget gap is growing wider. state legislators are learning by how much and why. david collins is monitoring developments and joins us live from annapolis. >> e

>> commissioner joseph, hang on one second. you want to speak but if we do this in an orderly fashion, i think we'll get through this and be clear about what is in front of the commission tonight and what is issues related to the police and the a.b.c. and so it would be i think probably the best for now if you -- if the applicants don't have any further information to present, that we allow officer dalton to come to the microphone and then -- it's unlikely. because this is not really a debate. the commission at this point has the ability to do a variety of things. and so they will discuss that. and if they have any questions for you, they'll ask you back up to the microphone. but that's pretty much the way we keep order. >> if i may. i think there's a discrepancy. i didn't hear the officer say we were going to be open until midnight only. >> so for clarity purposes, the conditions you're looking at here are conditions related to your entertainment permit. these are under consideration right now. the commission is the body that
