Maryland slipped two spots on Forbes' 2014 list of best states for business.
The state ranks No. 20, down from 18th a year ago.
Maryland's business climate has come even more into focus over the last few months as Governor-elect Larry Hogan pinned his campaign on improving the state's economy. (See the Business Journal's print and digital editions Friday for a look at how Hogan can improve the business climate.)
In the new report, Forbes ranks Maryland No. 41 for business costs and 36th for regulatory environment. The state, with a population of nearly 6 million, ranks fifth for labor and eighth for quality of life.

From what I'm seeing, I'm surprised it WAS that high recently!
The media needs to follow Gov Hogan to watch the obstacles he faces in the democrat controlled assembly when he fights for business,farms,lower taxes,etc and show how they want things to stay the way they are.
