“We still have Marylanders who are struggling in parts of our state like Baltimore City, Western Maryland, and the Lower Eastern Shore, where, unfortunately, unemployment is still higher than it is in the rest of the state. Which is why we must come together to enact the Maryland Jobs Initiative, an innovative, bipartisan proposal, which will provide incentives for the creation of thousands of jobs in the places that need them the most.” - Governor Larry Hogan, February 2, 2017
More Jobs For Marylanders Act Of 2017
Governor Hogan’s More Jobs For Marylanders Act Of 2017 Will Provide Increased Employment Opportunities To Areas Of The State That Need It Most. “Gov. Larry Hogan unveiled a package of proposals Thursday afternoon to boost manufacturing jobs and expand workforce training programs. Hogan said his proposals will help increase opportunities for workers as well as employers, especially in high-unemployment areas such as Baltimore, where he made the announcement. ‘Even though Maryland has been experiencing tremendous job growth and business growth and economic progress, not all Marylanders and not every jurisdiction in the state is seeing the same level of economic improvement and success,’ Hogan said during an announcement at the POWER House Community Center in the Perkins Homes public housing community in East Baltimore.” (Pamela Wood, “Hogan Announces Plan For Manufacturing Incentives, Job Training,” The Baltimore Sun, 1/5/17)

Unless Maryland government doesn't change it tune with high taxes and liberal policies, we will never have any good paying jobs here.
ReplyDeleteGo to a hardware store and re learn what a shovel,hoe,pick,etc are for and go from there.
ReplyDeletefirst step is getting rid of the sanctuary status and stopping illegals from taking the jobs.
ReplyDeleteTalk is cheap. It's actions that count, and I haven't seen much in the way of progress coming from Annapolis in the past 10 years since the the recession started. No progress on jobs, taxes, or any economic growth. I see more government, higher taxes, and less in the private sector. Even retail is starting to leave this area. Not enough revenue to pay the high government workers salaries like Teachers and BOE administrators. Its sad when government and state workers make more than the average private sector worker even with a degree! Something has to give. Can't get blood out of a turnip!
ReplyDeleteThey don't want more jobs in MD. That way they can control us by forcing all on public assistance and have that many more voting for Dumbo's to get more free stuff. As for as taxes they will tax the workers to death and then confiscate their possessions / property so their buddies can buy cheap and will get richer. There is nothing but a bunch of con-artist / crooks running Annapolis.
ReplyDeleteToo bad the MDGA keeps pissing off the one guy creating jobs in USA. Smart thinking.
