A recent survey of CEOs placed Maryland among the 10 worst states for business, citing tax increases as well as proposals to raise the minimum wage and make paid sick leave mandatory discussed in the recent General Assembly.
The survey by the Chief Executive Group in Connecticut ranked Maryland 41 among the 50 states, falling from its 2012 rank of 40th.
The CEOs surveyed ranked Virginia seventh.
Maryland received one-and-a-half stars out of five for its taxes and regulations, while gathering three stars each for workforce quality and living environment.

Good job O'malley. You suck.
Both businesses and private citizens are being sucked dry by taxes and fees. I am surprised we rank as high as we did.
Other polls have us at 7th lowest, so, there's that. O'malley will spin it as we are 7th best at improving in jobs and industry, but we all know the score, Time to make the exit move.
