What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
"Maryland is facing multibillion-dollar deficits in the coming years. It is incumbent upon your elected officials to spend your tax dollars wisely. That means withholding future funding from programs that have squandered state money previously, building reserves and planning ahead for important major expenditures like transit funding and waterway protection and cleanup. With a sense of responsibility to the taxpayer and common sense planning, it can be done."
