ANNAPOLIS, MD – Delegate John Bohanan announced final adoption of the State’s Operating Budget on Saturday which includes an additional $10 million of immediate relief for pot hole repairs, an issue intensified by the county’s unusually harsh winter.

In addition to this sum, based on lane miles information, St. Mary’s was allocated $268,588 for potholes repair. These sums bring the county’s total HUR sum to $1,053,606, a 39.3 percent increase compared to fiscal 2014’s total sum of $758,232.
As per the Appropriations Committee’s agreement with Maryland Department of Transportation Secretary Jim Smith, the additional $268,588 will be allocated within the 2014 fiscal year.
