See some of the biggies below. See the full breakdown from the Post here.
- Maryland will lose approximately $14.4 million in funding for primary and secondary education, putting around 200 teacher and aide jobs at risk.
- Maryland would lose about $3.1 million in environmental funding to ensure clean water and air quality, as well as prevent pollution from pesticides and hazardous waste.
- Maryland will lose about $66,000 in funding for job search assistance, referral, and placement, meaning around 9,270 fewer people will get the help and skills they need to find employment.
