Legislature braces for stark session

Leaders will focus on job creation but avoid new spending programs

The winter could get even colder for college students, state employees and the prospects for new laws when the General Assembly comes back into town in January.

The General Assembly can only cut from the budget O'Malley proposes, and legislators hinted at several possible outcomes, including further layoffs and furloughs for state employees.

Not sure what Ehrlich is going to do yet .. sure wish he'd make up his mind.

Merry Merry and Happy NY

Just brief break to recoup from surgery and celebrate Christmas.  Come January, I hope y'all are up to the challenge of keeping up with what's happening in Annapolis.  It is going to be important that we collectively as a group, keep tabs on anything that is going to affect us as state workers.

Have a safe New Year's and here's hoping that we don't get dumped on too badly in 2010.
