by Christopher B. Summers | September 5, 2023 | Commentary | 2 |
Marylanders, it is time to ready ourselves for more tax hikes. The state Department of Legislative Services revealed in June that, thanks to spending hikes, Maryland will face a budget deficit starting next year that will grow to $1.8 billion in five years.

Until now, I have nearly always declined to speak publicly about this subject because, first as a State Delegate and, since 2018, as a State Senator, my work representing my constituents has had nothing to do with Mr. Trump.
