ONE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT Sharing Teacher Pension Costs Being Considered Counties Luke Warm to Idea, Lawmakers Eye Suggestion

By RICK DOCKSAI Capital News Service

ANNAPOLIS – Not all the measures being considered by lawmakers would raise taxes to close the state’s looming budget deficit — some would cut spending. But they’re not much more popular than the tax bills, if hear- ings last week are any indication. One bill, to save the state $334 million a year by requiring counties to pay half the costs of teacher pensions, got a scathing review from groups representing teachers and county executives. “I can’t begin to tell you how devastating this would be to PHOTO COURTESY OFFICE OF THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE school employees,” said Clara Floyd, president of the Maryland Prince George’s County Executive Jack Johnson signs an executive order that will put the county on the fast track for going green environmentally.

EHRLICH’S ADVICE TO O’MALLEY ... Ax Outlandish Salaries and Rein In Spending, Then Cut Your Budget BALTIMORE – Maryland’s liberal establishment is at it again. Less than nine months after restoring one party-rule, the liberals in Annapolis are pushing massive tax increases based on a revisionist account of Maryland’s budget history. Let me set the record straight. In 2002, as state revenues steadily dwindled, the General Assembly enacted a $1.3 billion education law. Legislators passed it knowing they had no money to pay for it. They passed a budget that overspent by $616 million. This new spending, combined with an economic downturn and rising health costs, created a long-term deficit. My administration inherited that deficit in 2003 and, four years later, left state government a budget surplus. We cut government spending by more than $700 million in our first six months. We cut the size of the executive branch workforce by 7 percent. We defeated $7.5 billion in proposed new taxes. We directed state agencies to budget under the assumption they would receive 12 percent less money than the previous year. These decisions were wildly unpopular with the lawmakers who created the budget crisis, but I took these steps to end their “cocktail party” spending in Annapolis. We also proposed to place slot machines at Maryland racetracks. Had the leaders of the Maryland House of GUEST EDITORIAL Delegates not rejected this bipartisan proposal for four straight years, Maryland would be enjoying an estimated $800 million in additional non-tax revenue each year. Despite inheriting a raft of new spending programs, my VETERANS’ TRIBUTE administration left Maryland in strong fiscal health. We near- ly tripled the Rainy Day Fund to $1.4 billion, and at the end of fiscal year 2006, Maryland enjoyed a $1 billion budget surplus and remarkably low unem- A Grateful Nation Remembers ployment.
