County Executive Ike Leggett has testified before the Maryland State Senate Budget and Taxation Committee on SB 830, known as the Transportation Financing Act, urging action that would increase funding for transportation projects in the State.
“This committee has heard from me on this issue, year in and year out. I believe now, more than ever, we are at a tipping point – one that Virginia has also finally realized – that in both rural and urban areas, the lack of any new investment in transportation has taken its toll, from a quality of life and economic development perspective.
“Now is the time – this is the year – for Maryland to reach a consensus on a plan that will produce significant and sustainable State revenues for transportation investment in this State. The State’s economic future depends on it.”
