[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Baltimore needs fixing. It should be the economic engine of the state.[/quote] The state of MD would be much better off if state funds were not disproportionately siphoned off to Baltimore, which is a dysfunctional blackhole. For example, Baltimore gets 11% of all state gas tax revenues for transportation. All of the counties combined get to share only 4.3% total. Baltimore gets almost 40% of all state police aid. On a per capita basis, Baltimore gets over $2700 while Montgomery County only gets $1100. It could be argued that feeding that corrupt money pit more and more state resources is hurting the states ability to make investments in infrastructure and tax cuts that would make it competitive.[/quote]
