Lawmakers Discussing Difficulties Over MD Budget

Posted: Updated:

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) - Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller says senators are looking at broader cuts in Maryland's budget for the next fiscal year because of resistance to some of Gov. Martin O'Malley's revenue proposals.

Miller, D-Calvert, told reporters after session Tuesday that lawmakers are looking at different revenue proposals than the ones in the Democratic governor's budget plan. Miller specifically mentioned reluctance to embrace O'Malley's plan to cap state income tax deductions for people who make more than $100,000. The change would affect mortgage interest deductions.

Miller also noted that Maryland counties are unhappy with the governor's proposed split of teacher pension costs with counties. The Senate is taking up O'Malley's budget proposal first before sending its recommendations to the House of Delegates.
