The truth will out - December 23, 2007
The lunchbox impact of the midnight $1.6 billion dollar tax raid on Maryland taxpayers will soon become transparent to everyone. Kudos on the study.

What a Cynical Achievement! Wait until the recession impact is factored in and the average voter realizes it--less revenue, less jobs and MORE taxes--thank you Gov and our Legislative "leaders'. Great work.
