Article Responding To:
Gov. Wes Moore is touting his “fiscal responsibility” along with a balanced budget proposal, which some lawmakers and economists say ignores Maryland’s most pressing issue ahead: billions of dollars in structural debt.
Moore has boasted that his administration balanced the budget this year without new taxes or fees — a reality possible in large part by a series of tax and fee hikes last year.
Response:
Is the States, budget that will be passed this year going to protect Marylands Businesses and Working Families from more tax and fee increases from next years Legislative Session?…
Judging from the Moore Administration’s actions from the last 3 years, You wouldn’t want to “bet the farm” on it.
This administration since January of 2023 to current has increased Taxes and Fees by $2 Billion Dollars, oh and btw in December of 2025 SDAT announced “Property Tax Increases” for FY 26 on hundreds of thousands businesses and homeowners. This administration has worked to increase energy rates by as much as a 1000 percent since January of 2023 around the State.
The Moore Administration “has defended” it’s reckless spending the whole time, while blaming the Trump Administration for the majority of the States financial pitfalls.
In January of 2025, January 8th 2025 it was reported the State was facing a $3 Billion Dollar Deficit, the next day January 9th 2025 the Moore Administration gave away a $Billion dollars at the Board of Public Works Meeting. January 15th 2025 Governor Moore proposed his budget with over a $Billion dollars of Tax and Fee Increases… Folk’s President Trump returned to the White House January 20th, 2025….
With all of this was well the biggest question how much more will Marylanders have to pay to fund the Kirwan Blueprint? Something the Democrats in the Legislature refuse to “make any meaningful adjustments to…”
Folks if the Democrats in Maryland aren’t held accountable this November, then Marylanders “financial bumpy ride on their bottom line” will most likely continue going into the 2027 Legislative Session….
