O'Malley suggests more options to cut deficit

BALTIMORE —Maryland's budget deficit has grown, and Gov.-elect Larry Hogan will inherit a $767 million shortfall next fiscal year.

Before leaving office, Gov. Martin O'Malley released suggestions on where Hogan could find some savings. The Hogan administration said it is not familiar with the suggestions and that it is focused on what O'Malley did to reduce spending.

"The biggest threat to us (is) those revenue writedowns," O'Malley said Friday.

The state's budget deficit is growing bigger by the month. The initial $750 million has jumped to $766.9 million. O'Malley cited low tax revenues from what he characterizes as an underperforming private sector, and he blames Congress.

  8. Had to see this on WBAL channel 11.
    No mention what so ever from WBOC. This is important news about about Maryland government. Real shame I have to turn to a Baltimore station to find out what is going on here.
    What would it take for WBOC to finally report what is going on in Maryland instead of all Delaware all the time?
