County commissioners on Tuesday rejected calls to end the hiring freeze citing a looming $125 million to $150 million state cut.

The panel also moved toward a hiring freeze review committee while advancing a space study for the C Burr Artz library expansion, with $2.1 million construction funding pending and CIP competition influenced by Urbana High School funding.

Schaefer vows cuts in state aid for programs
Maryland Governor William Donald Schaefer pledged to balance a about 500 million deficit by cutting funding to local governments and state programs. He warned pain ahead for health education and public safety, naming Montgomery and Prince George's counties as targets. He said next week will outline specific reductions and a Sept 15 board review will finalize. The plan relies on state agencies bearing the brunt as tax increases are rejected.
