Today, House of Cards Productions issued an ultimatum to Governor O'Malley - give us back our tax breaks or we are dismantling our stages and sets and moving to another State.
In a written letter to Maryland's Governor Martin O'Malley - it stated;
Give us millions more dollars in tax credits, or we will “break down our stage, sets and offices and set up in another state.
A similar letter also went to Maryland House Speaker, Michael Busch.
In addition to bringing a burst of buzz and excitement, the show created nearly 6,000 jobs and pumped more than $250 million into the state economy, economic development officials say.

Isn't that Maryland's MO. First they set a trap, and then they hang the businesses. The preditory nature of Maryland is to tax businesses into oblivion. And their residents to.
Where's my tax break?
Bu Bye! I have no tax break, and so neither should you. If I want a tax break, I'd have to leave Maryland, as so would you.
Have a nice trip.
Don't care to see this show, but go ahead and pack up. Why should they get a tax break? It's a tv show. Do they think they are a church?
Impeach him before he leaves.
Tax breaks should not be given to such entities. If private companies cannot make it on their own after a year or two then they should close up shop and the owners try something else. Taxpayers are suffering right now in this economy. Why should we eliminate taxes to these unnecessary companies?
The show has gone all gay anyway.
