Last night, Republicans in the Maryland House of Delegates presented a budget plan to the House Appropriations Committee. Delegate Tony O’Donnell, the House Minority Leader, and Delegate Jeannie Haddaway-Riccio, the House Minority Whip, presented the plan which slows spending, eliminates the state’s structural deficit and allows for a gradual repeal of the sales tax and corporate income tax increases from 2007.
“There are two options on the table this year for resolving the state’s budget problems,” House Minority Whip Jeannie Haddaway-Riccio said. “One option is to increase taxes. We prefer the fiscally responsible option which is to stop spending. Maryland’s citizens and small businesses cannot afford a hike in taxes right now - especially the gas tax and the income tax. My constituents have made it clear they want real leadership not credit card government. In my mind, there is no better way to stimulate the economy than to allow Maryland taxpayers to keep more of their hard-earned money.”
