Md. House Approves $37 Billion State Budget

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — The Maryland House of Delegates has approved the state’s budget, which is about $37 billion.

The Democratic-controlled House voted 101-36 on Friday for the bill, largely along party lines. The measure now goes to the Senate.

Republicans criticized the plan, saying lawmakers have allowed spending to grow too much due to tax increases in recent years and shifts of money from dedicated funds. But Democrats say the state has been able to maintain crucial education funding to invest in the state’s future, even in the aftermath of the recession.

    So the state is deficit spending again! Maybe they're relying on the upcoming tax hikes to cover it.

    Too bad the economy sucks everywhere - I would be finding another place to work/reside/retire!
