Md. taxpayers face their own fiscal cliff
Daily Record 12.03.12
"Change Maryland has fought a persistent public relations battle with state leaders over Maryland taxes. Its chairman, Larry Hogan, has been a frequent critic of Gov. Martin O’Malley’s administration when it comes to business climate and tax rates."
"O’Malley has raised taxes and fees 24 times, taking $2.4 billion out of the economy annually on the state level,” Hogan said. “He ought to be the loudest voice advocating for hard-working Marylanders on Capitol Hill where the timing of these tax increases could not be worse.”

"Change Maryland says that since 2007, taxes and fees have been raised 24 times in Maryland. Meanwhile the sales tax in Maryland is 6%, in Virginia it's 5%; the top personal income tax rate is 9% in Maryland while in Virginia it's 5.75%; and the corporate rate is 2.25 percentage points higher in Maryland."
