HOUSE PASSES ESTATE TAX EXEMPTION INCREASE

With a bipartisan vote of 120 to 13, the Maryland House of Delegates passed a bill Friday to raise the estate tax exemption threshold over the next five years.

Delegate Heather Mizeur, D-Montgomery, was the only lawmaker who spoke in opposition of the legislation Friday before the final House before the vote was taken.

“It’s conservative propaganda to suggest that we have to pass this legislation in order to hold onto millionaires in Maryland,” said Mizeur, who is running for governor. “The only result of this bill will be to exacerbate the income inequality gap that exists in our state. This is the exact opposite of progress.”

Two Delegates, Jeannie Haddaway-Riccio, R-Talbot, and Herb McMillan, R-Anne Arundel, followed Mizeur to speak in favor of the bill.
