MD Dems Host Twitter Town Hall on Sequestration
Mandated federal budget cuts, if not averted, could impact the large federal presence in Maryland.
Maryland's congressional Democrats are taking to Twitter Thursday afternoon to talk about the coming sequestration cuts to federal budgets. The cuts, equally split between defense and non-defense spending, could have a large impact on Maryland if not averted. Civil employees could be furloughed a day per pay period, and the cuts would also impact work at military bases in Maryland, including at Fort Meade and Aberdeen Proving Ground.

Are Gaithersburg-area federal workers and others worried about the threat of sequestration cuts?
The sequestration talks are taking place just a few miles away and if it occurs, its effects will be felt in the Gaithersburg area, the rest of the Greater Washington area and the state, local politicians say. Gov. Martin O’Malley, in an appearance in Howard County Wednesday, said that 12,000 jobs in Maryland could be lost due to sequestration. To put that number in perspective, the governor said approximately 30,000 jobs were created in the state last year. “All of the great work that each of you does here is threatened by the uncertainty of the dysfunction in the halls of our House of Representatives,” said O’Malley. If Congress can’t reach a compromise on the approximately $84 billion in automatic cuts before Friday, they will go into …

I wonder if this new owner at the 44 location will provide terrible service, terrible food, dirty bathrooms, poor management and a strangely overpriced menu like the previous four owners! Sadly, they will, and they will be gone after a year. Lease too high + the false presumption that their clientele will spend $$ = prices too high = failure. A formula that has repeated itself in that location … more ›
