flag Governor Moore proposes a $70.8B budget with cuts, no taxes, and $10B for education amid GOP criticism.

flag Governor Wes Moore unveiled Maryland’s $70.8 billion FY27 budget, aiming to close a $1.4 billion deficit without tax increases. flag The plan relies on $1.8 billion in cuts and fund shifts, including reductions at the Developmental Disabilities Administration, limited state employee raises, and no provider rate hikes. flag It allocates $10 billion to education, $124 million to public safety, $352 million for housing, and $306 million for clean energy. flag Funds come from the Rainy Day Fund, capital budget, and other reserves. flag The governor emphasizes fiscal responsibility while advancing key priorities. flag Republicans criticize the proposal as relying on accounting maneuvers rather than structural reforms, warning of recurring deficits and opposing the lack of tax relief after a major tax hike. flag The Senate will lead budget consideration.
