Regarding Maryland’s offer of an interest-free loan of $700 to certain federal government employees impacted by the shutdown, where is this money coming from (“Maryland to offer $700 loans for federal workers impacted by shutdown,” Oct. 7)?
With Maryland facing a budget deficit and the possibility of hundreds of millions of dollars in new debt with questionable spending on transportation, I can’t help but wonder where Gov. Wes Moore expects to find funds for this program. And what are the chances these loans will be forgiven?
The lack of financial literacy in this state strikes again.

How can Maryland afford worker loans?
