Nearly two weeks ago Governor Hogan introduced his budget for FY2016. In it were significant cuts to education, cuts to Medicaid covering low-income pregnant women, reductions in cost of living adjustments for state workers, reduced funding for libraries…the list goes on.

It’s unfair to ask those already struggling to figure out a way to get by with less. Especially when others aren’t paying their fair share. We build a Maryland that works for all of us when everyone pays their fair share. 

On November 17th, Progressive Maryland and the Fair Elections Maryland Coalition hosted a panel discussion and movie screening for the documentary Pay2Play, in Silver Spring. Thank you to our panelists Delegate Eric Luedtke, Delegate Heather Mizeur, Congressman John Sarbanes, and Councilman Phil Andrews for your participation and work on this important issue.
