Business Groups Ask Candidates Not To Sign Pledges Before The Election

A dozen business groups representing thousand of business owners in Maryland are sending out a letter Friday to all candidates for the General Assembly asking them “not to sign any pledges or commitments that will make Maryland’s small businesses less competitive with surrounding jurisdictions (e.g. new taxes).”

The letter being sent to more than 500 candidates says:

“All we ask is for a chance to read proposed legislation, so everyone understands the possible ramifications before you make a pledge. That is what committee hearings and the legislative process is all about. Important issues should not be decided in advance by pledges and commitments.”

Right... If anyone really thinks Miller or Bush will do that they are crazy. They may say they will, but that would mean that they would have to listen to people who have opinions and everyone in Maryland knows that they know what is best for us. These business people would be better off showing them who is boss in November.
