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

The Moore administration plans to slash about $121 million from the state’s personnel budget through a combination of buyouts to state employees, a hiring freeze and elimination of at least 150 vacant positions,
