ANNAPOLIS – Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley’s fiscal 2012 budget proposal slashes state aid to Montgomery and Prince George’s counties by a total of $70 million. He would cut Montgomery’s aid by roughly 4.3 percent and Prince George’s County’s aid 3.2 percent.
About $60 million in cuts, half from each county, would come from transportation, public safety and local government operations. The state would save an additional $10 million by charging the counties for property assessments, a cost the state historically has covered.
