On the latest episode of the Conduit Street Podcast, Kevin Kinnally and Michael Sanderson breakdown Governor Hogan’s $58.2 billion proposed budget, including administration priorities, funding for essential county programs and services, and a peculiar omission of $125 million in seemingly mandated education funding.

Plus, we explain why a proposal to eliminate all state income taxes for retirees by 2028 — a centerpiece of the governor’s overall fiscal plan — will trigger a fascinating policy debate over long-term commitments vs. one-time spending amidst an unprecedented surplus and strong cash outlook.

The Conduit Street Podcast is available on major platforms like Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, and more. Episodes are also available on MACo’s Conduit Street blog.
