Md. budgeting blunders leave a $236M Medicaid shortfall

Technical errors and faulty projections in the administration of Gov. Wes Moore have resulted in a $236 million shortfall to cover Medicaid expenses in the state, further exacerbating an already tight state budget. The shortfall may prompt the Department of Budget and Management to propose drawing from the state’s rainy day fund, and/or propose a supplemental budget, which could include moving cost savings or cutting from another government program.
