It’s deja vu all over again—the same crushing tax hikes that convinced me to run for Governor in the first place are rearing their ugly head again.
This week, the Maryland House approved the single largest tax increase in Maryland history—a proposed $1.3 billion in new taxes on the backs of working families already struggling with historic inflation and a cost of living crisis.
Marylanders know it doesn’t have to be this way. As Governor, I cut taxes for eight straight years by $4.7 billion and left Maryland with a record surplus. It breaks my heart to see that progress slip away.
I urge Democratic leaders in the Senate to work with Republicans to stop this crushing tax hike and protect hard-working taxpayers. We must work together and reach across the aisle to defeat the toxic partisanship at the state level AND the federal level that is hurting our families.
