Maryland Democrats advanced tax increases and a multi-billion dollar education bill Saturday as the public is barred from the statehouse and the legislative session is ending early due to the coronavirus.
The Maryland Senate gave preliminary approval Saturday to an education plan that would cost $4 billion annually to reform the state’s public school system. To fund the plan, Democrats gave preliminary approval to tax increases on tobacco products and digital downloading, a move Republicans said is unpopular, as the economy is expected to struggle in the coming months of the coronavirus pandemic.
“I’m shocked that Democrats are moving forward with taxes,” Maryland Senate Minority Leader J. B. Jennings told the Daily Caller. “Now is not the time to pass tax increases.”

People! This is what Democrats do. Remember "Don't let a good crises go to waste", this is the Democratic philosophy. Maryland Democrats in the General Assembly will now use this crises time to pass any tax hike that they want and there's nothing that can be done about it because Maryland is a DEMOCRAT STATE. So voters, if you like what is going on just keep on voting Democrat. I'm sure you will because after all, My family has always voted Democrat".
ReplyDeleteCorrupt!
ReplyDeleteWhen so called representatives are more than willing to violate laws, violate open meeting laws, violate state constitutions, when they barr the public from these hearings, when they ignore the call of the people, when they ignore our rights as citizens..... THEY are committing crimes, unlawful acts, they are willing to violate any and all laws to TAKE what is not theirs. They are thieves, nothing less. And in conspiracy with them that violate so freely....are those that get paid well to watch guard and hold those responsible....yet they do nothing....criminals must be prosecuted or crime escalates.

ReplyDeleteCalm down folks. It's preliminary approval. Common sense says if you have an issue you cared about you would complete the preliminary step before going on break, then come back to it ready for further debate and potential final approval once things have calmed down. This was simply a procedural step.

ReplyDeleteEasy, some of us own a dog.
These BAD LEGISLATORS are asking for 4 Billion from YOU; yes you and me...OUR TAX DOLLARS. THERE IS NO AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT WILL IMPROVE OUR FAILING PUBLIC SCHOOL INDOCTRINATION CENTERS. COMMON CORE TEACHERS AND THE COMMON CORE SYSTEM IS NOT EDUCATING STUDENTS. YOU ARE BEING DUPED IN EVERY WAY AND HAVE NO CLUE. THANK GOD SOME HAVE SEEN THE TRUTH AND MADE GREAT CHOICES FOR THEIR CHILDREN TO GET OUT NOW.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you expect from crooks? They steal from State Retirees. They have never returned the money / millions they stole from the Maryland State Employees Fund that each State Employee had to mandatorily contribute to every pay. They are not even paying interest on this money.
