AFP-Maryland Opposes SB141 - BRFA

-Dozens of citizens from around the state to rally, testify at committee hearing tomorrow-

ANNAPOLIS – The Maryland chapter of Americans for Prosperity is opposing the passage of SB141, the Budget Reconciliation & Financing Act (BRFA). This bill, which would transfer hundreds of millions of dollars from special funds into the general budget, will receive a hearing in the Senate Budget & Taxation committee tomorrow at 12:30pm. Dozens of AFP-Maryland activists from around the state will rally in opposition to this bill and demand Maryland leaders construct a budget that is fiscally accountable.

“This robbing-Peter-to-pay-Paul strategy is fiscally irresponsible,” stated AFP-Maryland state director Dave Schwartz. “Raiding nearly $1 billion from our state’s special funds is an election year stunt that will hurt small businesses and lead to massive tax increases. We have an $8.3 billion structural deficit because Gov. O’Malley and the General Assembly refuse to live within their means.”
