| Baltimore may face more cuts to highway funding |
|
Lawmakers are seriously considering a $30 million reduction to
Baltimore City’s share of the state aid that local jurisdictions share
for road maintenance.
But city legislators are prepared to fight the staff proposal to
redistribute that money to the state’s 23 other jurisdictions. Analysts
say the move would more evenly distribute the money, which comes from
gasoline, vehicle registration and titling taxes categorized as
“highway user revenues.”
Local governments have taken a hit across the board, as the state
kept most of the highway revenues that it usually sends to counties in
order to balance the state budget. |
