It's been forecast that the budget deficit that Maryland legislators will be grappeling with this session is something around $2 billion dollars. Unlike the federal government, which can print money, states actually have to balance their budgets.
One of the projects that are unlikely to make the next budget are improvements to Rt. 3, in Crofton and Gambrills. The Rt. 3 improvement project has been studied for decades and work never seems to begin because the State runds out of money.
With President Elect Obama's stimulous package directing some money to State infrastructure projects, it's possible that the Rt. 3 improvement project could be revived. After all, its been studied to death and should be ready to go.

Don't you think they could have saved some of the money they used studying the project for the last however many years and actually use to me money to complete the project?
Stacey-Ann,
I wish. That doesn't seem to be the way it works.

I always did find that amazing that the government doesn't have to balance their budget.
I'm not sure when or how this happened, but it is certainly the turning point for everything that is wrong in Washington.
Our government runs like Enron used to. I hope you get the funding needed.

Richard, I'm sure the opponents of the Intercounty Connector were pleased to hear about the budget shortfall! And too bad about Route 3.
Hi Richard - Gotta say I'm not a fan of this stimulus bailout package. With no proper oversight in place...well the news is already telling us that the money is disappearing with no real knowledge of where it went. The GOVERNMENT better hope we all keep working so that have the money to do their DEEDS. Sorry didn't mean to rant......it's a touchy subject!
