ANNAPOLIS – County leaders and transportation officials are outraged over the Maryland Department of Transportation‘s assertion that the state has repaid all the money borrowed from the state’s Transportation Trust Fund.

Roughly $947.5 million was transferred from the Maryland Transportation Trust Fund in local highway user revenues to the state general fund to help balance the budget between 2003 and 2011. None of that has been transferred back, according to the state’s Blue Ribbon Commission on Transportation Funding.
