ALERT: Fox 45 Budget and Tax Town Hall TONIGHT 7pm

Maryland lawmakers recently passed a responsible compromise budget that featured both spending cuts and tax increases, while avoiding $500 million in “doomsday” cuts.

MBTPI’s own Neil Bergsman will be taking part in a town-hall style debate on taxes and the budget, TONIGHT at 7pm.  The other three panelists will be Vincent DeMarco from the Maryland Health Care for All Coalition, Charles Lollar from New Day Maryland, and David Schwartz from Americans for Prosperity. Mark Hyman of Sinclair Media will moderate. Fox 45 (which is owned by Sinclair Media) is hosting and moderating the debate, which will be streamed live on their website (it will NOT be broadcast live). Viewers will have the chance to submit questions online, on Facebook, and via Twitter.

We know that our opponents will flood the Fox 45 forums with questions arguing that Maryland should cut taxes and gut vital programs. With your help we can show support for continued public investment in the programs and services that make Maryland great, such as our schools, parks, hospitals, and universities. 

Please watch the 7pm debate live at www.FoxBaltimore.com.  We also ask that you post comments and submit questions for the panelists on Fox 45’s website, Facebook page Facebook.com/foxbaltimore and by Twitter @FoxBaltimore. You can also follow along as MBTPI tweets comments and reactions to the debate at @MarylandBudget. The hashtag for the forum will be: #Fox45TownHall. 

See you tonight!
