WBOC quotes Johnny exposing Democrat policies behind Maryland's $3B deficit
Original headline: "Maryland Lawmakers to Tackle Major Budget Deficit in 2025 General Assembly Session"
What you need to know
Maryland walked into the 2025 session staring down a $3 billion deficit — and Johnny refused to let the Democratic Supermajority pretend it was anyone’s fault but their own. The state didn’t get here by accident. It got here by five or six years of expensive, unfunded policies pushed through by the same people now demanding higher taxes to clean up their own mess.
Eastern Shore families didn’t run up that bill. The waterman in Cambridge, the farmer in Caroline County, the small business owner in St. Michaels — none of them voted for the spending that put Maryland in the hole. But they’re the ones being lined up to pay for it.
Johnny framed 2025 as exactly what it was: a defining test of whether Governor Moore could actually face the math, or whether he’d reach for the ATM again.
Verbatim excerpt
This is going to be a defining session for Governor Moore. Our government is in a financial position now because of bad policies over the past five or six years.
