— ANNAPOLIS — Looking ahead to his second term, Gov. Martin O’Malley said Wednesday his first budget proposal will reflect another challenging year with more cuts, but that no new tax proposals will be included in his January budget.
The Democrat said any increase in state revenue will come from more people landing jobs, not taxes.
“I’m looking for cuts — and a constant diet of cuts — until our economy comes back so that the revenues come back, and we’ve seen our revenues start to bump up because we’ve seen job creation actually in the positive zone for the first time in a long time,” O’Malley said.
