than $20 million if you're a taxpayer and live in maryland and you're fortunate to be well compensated at work, you'll have to pay up a little more, too. let's take a look at just how much more money you're looking at. individuals making $100,000 to $125,000 may see their tax rate go up slightly from 4.75% to 5%. you can see if you take a look down that list, there are increases that correspond denied with the higher gross incomes -- correspond with the higher gross incomes. let's take a look at households, those people filing jointly earning $150,000 to $175,000, they will see a slight increase to 5%. and then of course the math continues up the bracket. the more money you make, the higher the taxes of course. in order to get the budget passed there three days, there will be no discussion of the proposed casino in prince george's county national harbor. however, we're told the governor has asked leaders to

put together a commission that could lead to a second special session later this summer specifically to discuss the casino issue. but for this session, the governor is calling for a balanced budget that includes $600 million in spending cuts [ inaudible ] a cuts only approach would raise college tuition on working families and make it harder for our people to learn in order to earn. >> reporter: so we're talking about cuts, higher taxes. however, there is some good news and i'll have that for you coming up at 6:30. back to you. >> we'll be looking forward to hearing the good news about this story. thank you, delia goncalves reporting from our satellite center this morning. across the potomac, virginia's governor is also talking taxes. republican bob mcdonnell tells the soargted press he's consider -- associated press

he's considering overhauling virginia's tax system next year. among the changes he's considering? lowering the state tax but expanding it to cover more things and he may also tie gas taxes to inflation rather than the flat tax in place now. the governor says virginia's tax code were written at a time when the state was made up of farmers. we've learned the name of a man killed in a motorcycle crash over the weekend. 51-year-old henry thorpes, jr. killed. it happened west of branch avenue in clinton. no one else was hurt in this. the crash is still under investigation. this afternoon prince george's county will not be giving out tickets. instead they'll be giving out dollar bills. it's called bucks for buckling up. drivers spotted wearing their seat belt will get a greenback for staying safe. people spotted not wearing their seat belts will get a warning and a legislature about safety -- and a lecture about

"money" magazine has put together advice on getting the best quality contacts and glasses at the best prices. the big one here, know what your insurance policy covers and what it doesn't before you sign up. your typical vision coverage plans include an eye exam and a set dollar amount you can use towards glasses or contacts. anything over that amount usually discounted. so run the numbers. see if getting vision insurance

is worth it for you. second, do your research to compare your options. know the difference between what you get at a retail chain and what's being offered online. one way to do so, you read the online reviews of both stores and websites before you make a purchase. think twice before you spend more on those fancy extras. many stores are going to try to get you to upgrade to what seems like higher quality lenses. experts say good lenses, they typically run between $100 and $200. more than that, maybe you don't need it. finally, buyer beware when buying online. contact lenses could be a lower quality or less reliable. maybe a time when you go for brand names. glasses may look good but they may not fit properly in key places like the bridge of your nose or over your ear. make sure you try before you buy the frames with the lenses involved. and that old rule of thumb applies. if a deal seems to be too good to be true, it probably s. if you feel you're being ripped

off? guess what, probably are. do your research as always. >> good advice. thank you, jess. we like food in the morning. 7-eleven is rolling out a line of localery slurp slurpies. the first flavor will be sugar free mango. 7-eleven says an eight ounce serving will have 20 calories. a regular coke flavored splurpy has 75 calories. the time is 6:08. coming up in five minutes, same- sex marriage debate here in maryland enters the national spotlight. hear from people on both sides of the referendum which is expected in maryland this fall. howard says we should see some showers later today. we felt them earlier this morning. your weather first is next. stay with 9news now. achoo! nasal allergy symptoms
