Steve's News from Annapolis

We are at the time in the legislative session known as "crossover" when, if a bill has not been acted upon by the House, it will not become law. As a result, many of the larger policy bills are coming across my desk for consideration.

The House passed a $31 billion budget last week forcing us to look at the numerous revenue and spending options available to make up for the projected deficit. I voted to cut $511 million from the Governor's budget and to eliminate money for vacant state jobs. We also deferred spending on items that are mandated but must wait until better economic times are upon us.
