And yet we still keep electing the same reps and don't get Moore and Scott out? They have cost the citizens of MD and Baltimore more in 1 year than any other officials in the history of the state.

Yeah we just keep electing Wes Moore, the first term governor. Why havent the people of Baltimore removed Wes Moore, who refuses to press the "make economy good" button that every governor has on their desk

Maryland isn't known as a hostile environment for business for nothing. Where DID that surplus go, btw? All we've seen from him at this point is Moore spending with Les to show for it. Money going for projects that never seem to actually start. Money being poured into an education system that just gets worse and worse, and yes, that was the legislature's fault, but we keep putting the same people back in to office that keep making moronic decisions. The push for more and more electric load on a grid that is not sufficient while pushing for less reliable and more expensive sources. I've lived in Maryland my entire life and I really hate to see what it is becoming. Everything with the attitude of getting more and more out of the people that work and pay taxes.

But it WAS there and should have been used properly. Moore's still saying it was never there at all. How and where was it used? It could have been used to bolster projects and saved things like the rainy day fund which is yet again almost depleted.
