president will offer today to avoid a new round of elections. greece still has no government one week after elections because no party won enough seats in the parliament. if the heads of the different political factions reject the president's latest proposal, the country will have to hold another round of elections naas month. the political impasse could force grease out of the europe -- greece out of the european union if it can't come up with a plan to deal with the country's massive amount of debt. campaign 2012. congressman ron paul is out of money. his presidential bid is just about over he says but he's not going to compete in any more primaries. however, he will still try to stockpile delegates. he's hoping for some change within the republican party. he has 104 delegates which is significantly viewer than mitt romney or newt gingrich. mitt romney still needs 178 delegates before he officially gets the republican nomination for president. the latest count he has 966 out of the 1144 he needs to be the

official nominee. there are 11 more primaries and caucuses remaining. oregon and nebraska hold theirs today. and if the race for president were held today, it would basically be just too close to call. according to nbc news and "new york times," a recent poll conducted may 13 through -- may 11 through the 13th, 46% of registered voters would choose mitt romney while 43% would choose to elect obama. it falls within the margin of error in the poll which is plus or minus 4%. today maryland state senators are scheduled to vote on a series of budget measures ailed at pre-- aimed at preventing the so-called doomsday budget from taking effect. >> the package includes tax increases on people who make more than $100,000 a year and includes increases on taxes on tobacco products other than cigarettes. as matt jablow tells us, the threat of those tax increases have angered some within the state. >> enough is enough. >> reporter: dozens of tea party members joined with a

handful of republican lawmakers tonight at the state house in annapolis to protest a tax increase that they all describe as unfair and unnecessary. >> anybody here want more taxes? >> no. >> reporter: the tax increase proposed by the democratic leadership calls for hikes of anywhere from a quarter to three-quarters of a percent on households making more than $150,000 a year. for a couple with a combined income of $175,000, that would mean a $254 annual tax increase. >> it's no big deal. >> reporter: the alternative to the tax increase according to the democrats would be the so- called doomsday budget. >> no way doomsday. >> reporter: automatic, significant and pain full across the board budget cuts. as well as an $800 tuition increase for state colleges and universities. early this evening the state senate approved the tax increase which was championed by senate president mike miller. >> it's a small amount to pay for living in this great state and this great country. >> reporter: the senate minority leader disagrees

calling today a bad day for maryland residents. >> i think it's very bad for working family. i think it's bad for job creation and i think it sends the wrong message for people who come here. we want maryland to be a state where people want to live here, not because they have to be here. the constant tax increases make it tough to do. >> reporter: the state senate is expected to formally approve the tax increase sometime today. the house of delegates will then begin their debate. matt jablow, 9news now. >> across the potomac in virginia, lawmakers rejected some amendments made to the state budget. one was an amendment giving state workers a 3% bonus at the end of the year. mcdonnell wanted the extra money contingent upon state agencies saving $70 million by the end of june. turnout is expected to be low as voters in d.c.'s ward five choose a new city council member. they'll be filling the seat previously held bihari thomas -- by
