Governor Moore has NOT ruled out tax increases in 2027, especially as Maryland residents are currently facing historic tax hikes and burdensome utility rate increases. Maryland Democrats are expected to raise taxes and fees next year due to their poor budgeting and taxation practices. Since inheriting a $5 billion surplus in 2023, they have consistently increased taxes each year.
