Lawmakers Return to Annapolis for Special Session
posted 9:58 pm Mon October 29, 2007 - ANNAPOLIS, Md.
As the governor prepares to open a special session to consider new taxes tonight, tax opponents are in Annapolis this afternoon lobbying against Governor O'Malley's plans.
About two dozen anti-tax protesters are visiting lawmakers this afternoon asking them to resist O'Malley's tax plans, which include higher sales and income taxes.
The governor says the new taxes are needed to solve a budget shortfall next year. The protesters - including some business owners - say the government should cut spending to address the hole of $1.7 billion.
The session begins tonight at 8.

I agree with Ce Ce Clark about the tax problems. It didn't come along all at once but came about because of Erlich. Remember him? He's the dude who was in there and passed it along to O'Malley. I am though still upset with O"Malley for he's in favor of welcoming the illegals here with open arms. It's the same deal with Leggett and believe you me I am not voting for either of the two. I believe in the democrats and have for a long time but I am disappointed in this man and his cohort Leggett. If you can't rid Maryland of the trashy illegals and it's all going in their pockets it's time to move from here..oh wait.. I am going to Texas.. um.. maybe sooner than I thought.
