Maryland Governor Wes Moore plans to cut the state budget by $2 billion, aiming to protect working families and essential social services.

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore said that his proposal for the state’s budget will include $2 billion in cuts when it’s released later this month.

Facing a $3 billion budget gap, the first-term governor says Maryland shouldn’t spend as much on climate change goals that the Trump administration doesn’t support.

Moore has sometimes engaged in destructive partisan politics. He rallied supporters of then-Senate candidate Angela Alsobrooks by describing the campaign against former Gov. Larry Hogan as a “war,” a word perfectly at home in our partisan times but unfit to exist alongside Moore’s worthy appeals for decency and virtue.

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore has warned that massive budget cuts are on the way as state lawmakers try to solve a $3 billion budget gap. Moore told Maryland residents Wednesday to brace themselves for $2 billion worth of cuts in his soon-to-be-released budget.
