Change Maryland Chairman Larry Hogan on
Legislature's Passage of Offshore Wind
Annapolis - "With a proposed motor fuel tax increase this year and several years
of raising taxes on everything else, now is not the time to experiment on
unproven energy sources with other people's money. Once again, the priorities
of our top elected officials are not aligned with regular, working people who
overwhelmingly reject any further tax increases.
"This offshore wind scheme requires a tax to make it possible. The private sector does not get to tax people to experiment with projects and with very few exceptions neither should government. This will be a huge waste - assuming anything gets built at all. Governor O’Malley has been focused on increasing the cost of electricity and gasoline for struggling Maryland families and small businesses. He has now accomplished half his goal, and is working hard to increase the cost of gas in Maryland to the highest in the region."
