Maryland has been cheated out of more than $11 million by the state's biggest 50 individual and business tax scofflaws, according to a list published Tuesday to shame the delinquents into forking over the money.

There are 2 people listed with residences in Palm Beach and New Orleans. If that is their primary residence, why would they owe MD anything?

Barney, the out of state addresses could just be their mailing address. I know of someone who has resided in MD for 30 + yrs and all mail of theirs goes to an attorney's office in Northern VA who in turn also acts as a bookkeeper getting off checks for the couple's bills. Even Christmas cards are sent to the attorney's office. He then mails any personal correspondance to them on a weekly basis or more if needed.
