Study says Maryland one of “least free” states, but ranks well on taxes and spending
The Free State really isn’t very free, according to a new report from the Mercatus Center in Northern Virginia, a libertarian research group. Done by two scholars with the George Mason University-based group, the study ranks Maryland dead last in personal freedom, 44th in regulatory freedom and 28th in economic freedom. But one surprise in the study was how well Maryland ranks on fiscal issues, coming in 11th among the states on its freedom rankings.
