On Tuesday, Governor Wes Moore criticized the Supreme Court’s ruling on AFGE (American Federation of Government Employees, AFL-CIO, et al) v. Trump, warning it endangers federal workers, especially in Maryland, and accused the Trump administration of undermining government stability and public service.
“Maryland’s unique position as the state with the second-largest concentration of federal workers means any action against our federal employees is a direct strike against Maryland’s people and economy.
Today’s Supreme Court ruling on AFGE v. Trump will embolden President Trump in his mission to dismantle the federal government and threatens to upend the lives of countless public servants who wake up every day to deliver essential services and benefits that people rely on. But in Maryland, the unfortunate reality is we have already been forced to confront the consequences of these mass layoffs.
This new federal administration has chosen to be a chaos agent rather than the partner Marylanders deserve. But that won’t stop us from protecting our people.”
