O'Malley spokesman Rick Abbruzzese said using the state's dedicated open space funds for their intended purpose was No. 7 in the 10-point plan that was the backbone of the governor-elect's campaign stump speech.
"The money is there, and the goal is to fully fund it," Abbruzzese said. "During the transition we continue to work through the budget as new revenue projections come in, but it was a priority during the campaign."
