The plan, aimed at addressing education and transportation funding, faces opposition from Senate and Governor Wes Moore.

Maryland House Democrats propose a $1.3 billion revenue package to fund education reforms and transportation projects, including tax and fee increases.
The revenue plan includes expanding corporate taxes, legalizing internet gaming, and implementing new fees on ride-sharing and electric vehicles.
