Maryland Gov. Wes Moore will offer a voluntary buyout program and implement a hiring freeze for state employees, according to an internal letter.

Gov. Wes Moore told Maryland state employees on Tuesday that they should brace for a hiring freeze, voluntary buyouts and cuts to the workforce to balance a state budget that has been heavily impacted by Trump administration spending cuts, according to an employee email from the governor reviewed by The Washington Post.

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore announced a hiring freeze will go into effect July 1 and voluntary buyouts are on the way as the state looks to close a $121 million budget shortfall for the next fiscal year.
