mr. speaker, the governor of the state of maryland, martin o'malley. [ applause ] >> the governor had to spend a good bit of time doing something politicians don't especially like to do, which is cut spending. cut programs and raise taxes. >> he is going to say in his speech today though that we are past that now. that he expects there will be a balanced budget next year with no deficit and they will be able to breathe a little easier. >> also setting aside a little bit of money for the rainy day fund with the concern that while maryland's budget is in relatively strong shape, as we see the first lady trailing the governor there, shaking hands with senator madalino, while the budget situation has been cleared up in maryland, in washington it's a colossal mess. there is the threat of sequestration, automatic big spending cuts. and maryland in proximity to the district of columbia has so many jobs. not only people who work directly for the federal government, but people who work for contractors that supply the government. >> the governor is proposing in this budget to increase the rainy da
