BALTIMORE — Proposed cuts to road repair funds could mean more potholes in Baltimore. 

The Maryland Senate recently passed cuts to highway user revenue, which funds road repairs across the state. 

Around two-thirds of the statewide cuts come out of Baltimore's funds.

As the proposal moves to the Maryland House of Delegates, city leaders urge them to reject it. 

Mayor Scott highlighted that Baltimore has the largest load of repairs in the state. 

City leaders estimate 170 miles of road won't get resurfaced if the cuts pass.

The event has happened in Columbia, Howard County, for the past 30 years.

The board helped organize and run the event.

A Facebook post from the group states they're pulling out because Howard County wanted to change how they shared revenue from the event.
