ANNAPOLIS – Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley said Wednesday that $1 billion may have to be cut from Maryland highway and transit projects over the next six years, on top of the $1 billion in construction already cut in September because of the dip in transportation revenues.

But O’Malley is hoping that the federal stimulus package for the states being discussed by President-elect Barack Obama and the incoming Congress will make up for some of lost revenue from the taxes on gasoline and vehicle titling.
