The CEOs of Maryland’s major businesses have found the “elephant in the room” that stands in the way of economic growth here: the state’s non-competitive tax structure, according to a new report from the Greater Baltimore Committee.
Businessman and Tea Party favorite Charles Lollar has officially launched his bid for the Maryland Republican gubernatorial nomination. In announcing his bid, Lollar described himself as a fiscal conservative and social libertarian, insisting he was running for governor and not priest. He promised to reach out to Democrats as well as Republicans – a necessity and not a choice in Maryland.
Momentum is building among some Maryland politicians to increase the minimum wage to at least $10 an hour, a move that was resisted in the last General Assembly session; Gov. O’Malley is expected to announce funding for Baltimore City Red Line among other transportation projects; Attorney General Gansler finds a portion of the new wind turbine law unconstitutional; state hopes to settle pollution lawsuit against coal burning plant; citizen action sought in death of man with Down syndrome; Del. Hershey woos county commissioners as he seeks Sen. Pipkin’s seat, only he does do on State House stationery; and Charles Lollar kicks off campaign for GOP nomination for governor.
Del. Steve Hershey has lobbied county commissioners in Kent, Queen Anne’s, Caroline, and Cecil for letters of support to the governor in his bid to fill the seat vacated by Sen. E.J. Pipkin in District 36. But he has done so using his official legislative letterhead — prohibited under ethics rules established by the legislature.
