O'Malley Considering Jobs Bill

He could introduce measure next month to bolster economy

With the state unemployment rate inching upward, Gov. Martin O'Malley is considering several jobs measures when the General Assembly meets in special session next month, he said Wednesday.

A top administration official said the package could include an expansion of business tax credits for research and development and biotech investments, both of which have been popular.

The governor could add a third, yet-to-be disclosed, tax credit, according to the official, who was not authorized to speak publicly about the plan.

Our government at work. Extend tax breaks & even consider more, but then INCREASE the fuel tax. WBOC said this am to join in on the "Car Free Day". Nice idea if you live in an area that has mass transit.
