Maryland's Blown Through Most Of Its Snow Removal Budget

ROCKVILLE, MD (WUSA) -- Our winter has been so mild, you might expect state highway departments would be socking away cash for next year.

Not Maryland.

It's spent $30 million of its $36 million dollar snow removal budget for the year. Compare that to Northern Virginia, which has spent less than half of its snow budget: about $20 million of a $55 million budget. DC's spent about $3.5 million of a $6.2 million budget.

"On what? it doesn't make sense," said Margaret Lancaster of Silver Spring. "On snow removal. We've had snow this year?" said Jonathan and Lisa Ai of Rockville.

They can't justify raising taxes when the money isn't being spent. And that's all our governor does and wants to do is raise taxes.he is worthless.

And, where did the money go? Someone must be accountable or was it just transfered into the general fund? If a Democrat was in charge of the money, you'll never get a honest answer. The shit flows down hill, after all you have a president that is assigned a Social Security number from a dead man in Connecticut. Obama has never lived in that state. No fraud there!

It's been spent all right. It's been spent other places. Governor is a liar that's what it amounts to.

That is why the republicans in Annapolis are trying to pass a bill requiring the governor to put all the new taxes raised where their supposed to go and not wherever special interest wants it.

If they don't spend it they have to return it, budget might be reduced the next year. Can't have that.
