O'Malley Outlines List of Cuts, If Budget Fails
   posted 3:55 pm Tue October 23, 2007 - Annapolis, Md.
Governor Martin O'Malley on Tuesday outlined a long list of budget cuts that will be needed if his proposals to handle a $1.7 billion budget defict fail. Without finding ways to fill the hole, O'Malley says $850 million in cuts would be needed in local jurisdictions, and an additional $800 million in reductions would be required for state agencies and programs.

The governor says cuts would affect a wide range of areas, including education, health and public safety.

Latest Comment on O'Malley Outlines List of Cuts, If Budget Fails
Hmm
I'm totally fed up with the amount of resources that the politicians in Maryland and Montgomery County are giving to illegal aliens. They're decreasing the quality of life, increasing the expense, and decreasing the safety and opportunities of all of who are here legally. Too many of our tax dollars are already being used to encourage lawbreakers from other countries to migrate here and suck us dry, while our own children and senior citizens compete with them for an education and health care. O'Malley should get tough on illegal immigration and start protecting the citizens of Maryland. Once the illegals' desires aren't being funded, he can see how the budget really stands, instead of insisting that we taxpayers continue to fund their ongoing crimes.
