Maryland Republicans Say Special Session Not Needed
posted 6:07 pm Mon October 01, 2007 - ANNAPOLIS, Md.
House minority leader Anthony O'Donnell also criticized O'Malley Monday for failing to address the looming deficit last session and for being light on the details of his budget-balancing proposals.
O'Donnell also says the state shouldn't try to address the problem before the governor submits his budget for the next fiscal year.
O'Malley has said he wants to hold a special session in early November at the latest to take up a variety of proposals to address the fiscal crunch. The package includes a variety of tax and fee increases, legalizing slot machine gambling, tax cuts and budget cuts.
O'Malley spokesman Rick Abbruzzese says the governor looks forward to working with both Democrats and Republicans to get the state's fiscal house in order.
