• State Leaders in Annapolis are dealing with big problems in the state budget

    They knew day of reckoning was coming. They could have done something about it years ago... but they didn't.

  • The State leaders want to SHIFT the problems to YOU

    What does this actually mean for you? Read the Governor's current budget plan for Maryland...

  • O'Malley's teacher pension plan would hurt counties

    The main problem with the governor's plan is that it sticks counties with a heavy bill but gives them no power to control costs.

ENDORSEMENTS

"We, the undersigned organizations, are opposed to shifting costs for state pensions to county governments. The proposal that has been introduced in the Governor's budget would cost county governments $1.6 billion over the next five years alone. It would force counties to cut local services that residents depend on, from education to parks to arts and culture to libraries to human services to transportation. We call on the General Assembly to protect our community by opposing the shift."
