I read this Senate Bill.

A tax credit won't do anything to promote jobs here in Maryland.

If you read the Senate Bill it says that the maximum amount State income tax credit is $250,000 for a Maryland firm.

This won't do squat. If I were the Senate President why not sponsor a Maryland Tax holiday for employers by exempting sales tax on all purchased raw goods. Try waiving the mandatory required workmans compensation.

This will contribute nothing to luring more Maryland employers to our area.
