Specifically, no one unacquainted with the details can truly say. However, moving a manufacturing plant is not an inexpensive proposition. Businesses do not arbitrarily re-locate. How about a little pro-active leadership encouraging them to remain local before they look at other options? How about working with them to make the SBY environment more attractive than their proposed new location? Constantly being in react mode is not a recipe for success.

Texas is a stronghold for military spending, has a superior state (and probably local and regional)tax structure in regard to business and production, has a huge influx of ready-to-train workers who will work for less money and fewer benefits, has lower physical plant operating costs than the Northeast or Atlantic Seaboard, and already has a presence there for consolidation of effort savings. <br />Maryland, as a state, needs to pull its head from down below and look at how little vs. how much it can levy from business. The history says that it's always too much, and when one business fails or leaves, the taxation is readjusted to make up for the revenue loss, which puts an unfair tax burden on the remaining businesses. Local taxes have very little to do with the larger picture, as do local politics.<br />Maryland has become a severely bloated tax and spend state. Perhaps people with the ability to change that will change it, as Mr. Hogan and others take the stage at the state level. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-13354608126024022212015-01-17T09:00:24.811-05:002015-01-17T09:00:24.811-05:00can someone explain what SWED does and what Greate...can someone explain what SWED does and what Greater Salisbury Committee does?

Or how about the flush tax, Labinal got hit with that one to as it even applied to municipal sewer/water systems. And even the piggy-back tax (now 3.2%) you think Labinal didn't recognize the economic disadvantages of staying in MD.
