More Bad Maryland Budget News Looming?

Another dose of bad state budget news could be looming as the Maryland Board of Revenue Estimates prepares to meet later this week.

Warren Deschenaux, director of policy analysis for the Department of Legislative Services, said revenue projects “were optimistic” and now appear to be “retarded by adverse weather conditions” including the polar vortex and snow storms that have made Maryland and many other parts of the United States colder than normal.

How much of a reduction, if any, the state will take has not yet been made public.

I realize that it's not yet been discussed but, the recent flap with Russia could turn out to be a boon to American kids looking for summer employment in OC. That's a plus.

This "polar vortex" has happened many times before, it's nothing, really. I remember around the winter in 1990 or so seeing the river in Cheriton VA frozen all the way across. Remember the time we had 3 consecutive snowfalls totaling 24 inches or so, with drifts 3 feet high and roofs caving in?

Of course, that was before Big Al started shouting that the sky is falling!

Spring will be here soon, warming our little spot of our globe...
