Moore has said the state will face difficult choices in handling its worst financial crisis in 20 years, leading to shortfalls that could reach nearly $6 billion by 2030.

Maryland Governor Wes Moore released details of his $67.3 billion budget on Wednesday. It relies on $2 billion in cuts to state Government as well as nearly $1 billion in tax increases to close a nearly $3 billion budget deficit.

Gov. Wes Moore Wednesday proposed a budget he said will promote long-term economic growth and provide tax cuts to many, but it will be  balanced on tax increases on high-income earners in the state.

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore is about to face his most formidable challenge yet, one that has deep implications for the rest of his term and beyond.

More than 60% of Marylanders surveyed approve of the job Gov. Wes Moore is doing in office, while they are strongly against raising taxes to improve the state's deficit, according to the latest Gonzales poll.

Gov. Wes Moore (D) said Tuesday he will avoid tax increases and massive budget cuts and instead focus on growing the state's economy to solve the worst budget problem in more than two decades.

Without selling the tax increases that the governor unveiled in his $67 billion budget proposal on Wednesday, Moore faces making even deeper cuts to balance the state’s finances.

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore released a budget plan Wednesday that includes higher income tax rates for taxpayers who make more than $500,000, as well as about $2 billion in spending reductions throughout state government to address a $3 billion deficit.

Maryland is facing a budget crisis and Gov. Wes Moore has said the state is going to have to slash spending and increase revenue to fix it.
