Maryland Senate To Weigh ‘Doomsday’ Budget

ANNAPOLIS — Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller Jr. said Tuesday that the chamber will look to make broader budget cuts than those proposed by Gov. Martin O'Malley and might even consider a “doomsday” budget that would include $500 million in reductions with essentially no revenue increases.

Mr. Miller, Prince George’s Democrat, said theSenate likely will begin the budget debate this month and will consider several alternate proposals to the Democratic governor’s plan, which includes modest cuts and hundreds of millions of dollars in tax and revenue increases. Mr. O'Malley’s plan also includes an income-tax hike on the top 20 percent of earners

Here we go again with the 'doom' budget cut threats-- they did this before.
Trying to make the terrible budget that O'Guv submitted look like the better, more reasonable solution.
You watch what happens. They'll keep threatening till they get what they want.
It worked so well last time that Ricky even used it.
