Maryland Governor Larry Hogan is cutting fees.

He announced that he would be slashing and in some cases eliminating 155 of them across the state.

WBOC reports that these would range from cutting replacement birth and death certificate and child support collection fees to the cost of E-ZPass transponders and admission to state parks for veterans.

In addition, $15 million would cut from the surcharge on phone bills.

Last year the governor cut tolls by $270 million and $50 million in other fees.
