  1. Obama budget would have big impact in Md.

  4. Replace the sequester before it's too late

    Over the past six years, Maryland has taken a balanced approach when it comes to fiscal policy — making responsible cuts to spending while prioritizing investments in jobs, opportunity, and a stronger middle class.
