A dozen business groups representing thousand of business owners in Maryland are sending out a letter Friday to all candidates for the General Assembly asking them “not to sign any pledges or commitments that will make Maryland’s small businesses less competitive with surrounding jurisdictions (e.g. new taxes).”
The Democratic Senate hopefuls for District 42 face an uphill fight both in their primary and general elections, as their newly redrawn district extends far beyond its original Towson and Pikesville borders and into Republican turf.
The district has expanded through northern Baltimore County, almost to the Pennsylvania line, adding rural nooks and farmland, a fact challenger Connie DeJuliis has accepted.
DeJuliis, a former one-term delegate who served in the early ‘90s, is running against long-time incumbent Sen. Jim Brochin.
A story last week about the State Board of Elections rejecting online ballot marking questioned the experience of Unatek, the outside contractor hired to perform IT security tests on the proposed election system. Charles Iheagwara, managing director of Unatek of Largo, said after the story was published that the firm had conducted similar tests in the past, but some of these clients could not be disclosed.
State biz secretary says Maryland suffers from poor perception, not underperformance in economic development; Montgomery County schools to get a $5 million boost from Annapolis; part-time teachers at Maryland Institute College of Art vote for unionization; state’s criminal defendants missing court dates causing problems; Sen. Brochin wracks up more opposition as Baltimore County exec backs DeJuliis for his seat; and Mizeur and Gansler unite to slam Brown over debate controversy while WBFF-TV says it has been trying to get a Baltimore-area debate.
