Fiscal Picture... Still Fuzzy

On the latest episode of the Conduit Street Podcast, Drew Jabin joins Kevin Kinnally and Michael Sanderson to discuss Maryland’s Spending Affordability Committee, which this week approved a number of recommendations to help guide state budget decisions in the months ahead, including dipping into the state’s reserves to address a projected cash shortfall and structural deficit in the upcoming fiscal year; new analysis on The Blueprint for Maryland’s Future Fund — which is dedicated to implementing the recommendations from the Kirwan Blueprint bill; the push for the state to prioritize teachers and school personnel to receive the COVID-19 vaccine; and the latest on federal stimulus negotiations.MACo has made the podcast available through all major platforms by searching Conduit Street Podcast.
