Cuts, What Cuts? Maryland's Ongoing Myth

April 12, 2012

This chart shows that Maryland’s operating budget has ballooned under Governor O’Malley to the tune of nearly $7 billion dollars!

So let’s be clear and honest. There are no cuts in this year’s budget. None! Annapolis has increased spending again.

Raising the income tax will allow Governor O’Malley and Annapolis to spend nearly a billion dollars more in FY13 rather than $400 million more if no tax hikes are passed.

Are our elected officials being honest when they say the don’t have enough money to go around and that they are cutting our budget?


Contact your legislators today
telling them not to convene for a special session so they can tax and spend even more!
