Bob Ehrlich will visit today with owners and employees of a small business that would be among those taxed under legislation recently proposed in the Maryland General Assembly. When Governor Martin O’Malley enacted the largest tax increase in Maryland history in 2007, the legislature also considered extending the sales tax to 43 new services, including motor vehicle repair, cable TV, tax preparation, barber and beauty services, gym memberships, and many others. Jim Jennings Auto Transmission, which will host Bob Ehrlich tomorrow, is one of thousands of small businesses that would be subject to the new tax if enacted. As Governor, Bob Ehrlich will oppose tax increases on new services that hurt families and job creation. He will repeal Governor O’Malley’s 20% increase in the sales tax. Governor O’Malley refuses to rule out raising taxes next year even though he passed $6.3 billion in tax increases in his first term. Owners, employees, and customers of Jim Jennings Transmission will be present.

How are you going to pay for it, Bob?
Cut out giving away Tax dollars to non-profir organizations that are "culture" since they only benefit the wealthy. Tax payers should not have to pay for the rich culture enjoyment. VOTE MURPHY
Cut wastefull spending for one thing 9:14. Quit buying thousands of acres of land all over the state. Every acre the state buys is an acre that the state does not collect taxes on anymore. In general the state should be operating more like a business. I'm with you 11:45, Murphy is the real conservative but anybody is better than O'Malley.
For any candidate to offer less taxes or fees when the operating budget is hemorrhaging cash is moronic. We need a leader to manage the crisis, not try to fix it, because right now it is un-fix-able for MD.
why in the hell aren't these people prosecuted for fraud, fiduciary mismanagement, etc....If you or I spent millions that we didn't have, wrote checks that were basically IOU's, shifted money around in and out of different accounts and essentially "kited" checks, we WOULD BE ARRESTED AND IMPRISONED. Quickly. But these politicians are immune from that same type of prosecution?? Put the legislators in the same prison.. do THAT, and I betcha we'd get some balanced bugets REAL QUICK. Time to answer to the people for your scandalous and illegal behavior.
