Delegate Jeannie Haddaway-Riccio was a special guest on the Mark Steiner Radio Show (88.9 FM) last Wednesday to present the Republican Caucus’ response to the Governor’s State of the State Address. Tom Perez, Secretary of the Maryland Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation and Matthew Joseph, Executive Director at Advocates for Children and Youth also spoke. “We are in a serious budget crisis and systematic changes are going to have to be made in the State’s spending habits,” Haddaway said. “My main concern is for our citizens and our small businesses that are already at a breaking point because of their own financial difficulties. We should not continue balancing the budget on the backs of our taxpayers and that is what I tried to convey on the show.”
