ANNAPOLIS, MD (AP) – Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan is making preliminary budget recommendations to incoming Gov.-Elect Wes Moore at a time when the state has a big budget surplus. Hogan, a term-limited Republican, outlined highlights in his budget proposal Thursday to the incoming Democrat governor. The state has roughly $2.5 billion in budget surplus. Maryland also has about $3 billion in its Rainy Day Fund. Hogan’s budget team has been working with the incoming administration on the budget for the next fiscal year.
