Candidate Merryman at the Towson TEA Party
Candidate Merryman testified at the Senate Budget and Taxation Committee Meeting on March 3rd.
Looking to restructure the budget to cover an expected $2 Billion shortfall, Governor O'Malley has proposed a budget that includes almost $400 million in ASSUMED federal funding (which probably will not be available), over $400 million in borrowed money (that taxpayers will be responsible for paying back) and almost $1 Billion in transfers from nearly 400 special funds. The funds, which they are proposing we pilfer from include the Transportation Fund (TTF) used to pay for infrastructure such as older bridge repair, roads and road repair, new land purchases for open space and many, many more. These funds will eventually have to be replaced and stabilized by the taxpayers of Maryland.
If we allow them to avoid the hard work of including targeted spending reform and just try to get through it NOW, we will all pay through tax increases in the future to rebuild the funds as soon as the elections are over.
This is Candidate Merryman's testimony at the hearing on behalf of the tax payers:
