State surplus may be higher than expected
ANNAPOLIS AP Gov. Harry Hughes faces a easier budget path as last year surplus could be 30 to 40 million dollars higher than predicted. Aide Emer Johnson noted final figures come in September but revenues appear stronger and may be more optimistic than comptroller estimates. Union officials pressed for a special session for a state employee pay raise, arguing extra funds could fund retroactive increases and avert layoffs amid potential federal cuts. Bond cited higher income tax receipts from smaller refunds and altered withholding, but cautioned the surplus may not reach 200 million, even if 50 to 60 million occurs. Despite the gain, projected losses from federal aid and rising maintenance costs keep budget gaps. State employees still expect a substantial raise next year to offset this year's absence. An unexpected 30 million would ease fiscal strain but not solve it.
