County Councilmembers and state delegates from Montgomery and Prince George's Counties sent letters to Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley asking him to allocate funding for Metro sufficient to stop service cuts, as FairShareForMetro.com has been urging.
The Prince George's County Council and state legislative delegation both sent letters from their collective groups. House Delegation Chair Melony Griffith and Vice-Chairs Marvin Holmes and Michael Vaughn circulated the legislative letter, and County Councilmember Eric Olson championed the Council version.
Both included nearly identical key language: "Closing [the budget gap] without severe service reductions would require an additional contribution from Maryland to WMATA's FY11 operating budget of approximately $29 million. ... We are well aware that these are challenging budgetary times, but this is one expense we believe the state cannot forego."
