The Office of the Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley: The Fact By Rick Abbruzzese, Director of Public Affairs


The Facts By Rick Abbruzzese, Director of Public Affairs http://www.governor.maryland.gov/blog/?p=6075

July 10th, 2012

A recent report by Change Maryland, a GOP-led, partisan organization, erroneously makes an outdated claim that the number of millionaire households in Maryland has decreased.  A quick look at the numbers reveals the facts:
FACT: Change Maryland is a GOP-led, partisan organization founded by a former Ehrlich appointee, failed congressional candidate and failed would-be candidate for Governor.
FACT: The number of millionaire households in Maryland has actually increased 19% during the O’Malley-Brown Administration, according to the non-partisan Phoenix Institute. Today, Maryland has the highest percentage of millionaire households in the United States, and our overall share of the United States’ millionaire residents has actually increased since 2006. Lastly, the balance between Virginia and Maryland remains statistically unchanged during that time.
FACT: Governor O’Malley inherited a $1.7 billion structural deficit from an Ehrlich Administration that increased spending by nearly 34% over 4 years.  In 2007, Governor O’Malley called a Special Session to resolve the inherited structural deficit through a balanced approach of unprecedented cuts to spending and yes, new revenues. The decisive actions taken during the 2007 Special Session – including $550 million in cuts and a penny’s increase on the sales tax – would have eliminated the structural deficit by Fiscal Year 2012 had our country not been plunged into recession by George W. Bush’s reckless spending and tax cuts that overwhelmingly favor the wealthy.
 FACT: According to the highly respected and non-partisan Federal Funds Information for States, Marylanders have the 3rd lowest state and local tax burden adjusting for income, ahead of only South Dakota and New Hampshire. And, according to the Tax Foundation, when you factor in all of Maryland’s sales tax exemptions, Marylanders pay the 9th lowest adjusted state and local sales taxes in the nation (including adjustments for zero local sales taxes and exemptions on services, gasoline, groceries and more).
Here’s a sales tax comparison with our neighboring states:
Lastly, the Tax Foundation also finds that Maryland has the 8th lowest tax burden on mature businesses, Ernst & Young ranks Maryland as having the 12th lowest tax burden on new investments, and Ernst & Young and COST indicate Maryland businesses pay the 2nd lowest combined state and local taxes as a share of total state and local tax revenue (only Connecticut is lower).
Here’s a corporate tax comparison to our neighboring states:

By Bill Murphy

BALTIMORE -- For the eighth time in a row, Texas has been voted the best state for business in Chief Executive magazine's annual survey of CEOs.

In this year's survey, Florida moved up from number three last year to number two. North Carolina ranked third, Virginia was sixth and Georgia came in eighth.

Of the 50 states ranked, the bottom-placed included New York (49th), Massachusetts (47th), New Jersey (45th), Connecticut (44th), Pennsylvania (43rd) and Maryland (40th). California earned the dubious honor of being ranked dead last for the eighth consecutive year.

Texas won high marks for its business-friendly tax and regulatory environment. Its workforce quality was second only to Utah's… http://baltimore.citybizlist.com/1/2012/5/4/CEOs-Rank-Maryland-near-Bottom-10-States-for-Business-2012--cbl.aspx

Federal Judge Says Gun Owners Need Not Provide 'good Reason,' Rules Maryland Law Unconstitutional | Fox News

BALTIMORE – Maryland residents do not have to provide a "good and substantial reason" to legally own a handgun, a federal judge ruled Monday, striking down as unconstitutional the state's requirements for getting a permit.

U.S. District Judge Benson Everett Legg wrote that states are allowed some leeway in deciding the way residents exercise their Second Amendment right to bear arms, but Maryland's objective was to limit the number of firearms that individuals could carry, effectively creating a rationing system that rewarded those who provided the right answer for wanting to own a gun... http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/03/05/federal-judge-rules-maryland-gun-permit-law-unconstitutional/

Doing business in the state of Maryland is an ordeal in hell: Permitting issue ends local firm's recycling of food scraps

Permitting issue ends local firm's recycling of food scraps

Maryland Department of the Environment calls for operations to cease due to lack of permits http://tinyurl.com/7wkz6k5

http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/news/business/ph-ce-recycled-green-0205-20120205,0,5133383.story

A Woodbine company that had been processing food scraps into composted materials with commercial applications — a process lauded by state and local officials as the next great frontier in recycling — has ceased those operations after hearing concerns about pollution from the Maryland Department of the Environment.

The impact has been far reaching, causing a string of institutions and the Howard County government, which were all sending food scraps to the facility, to find other, out-of-state facilities to handle the material.

Recycled Green Industries, which is still processing yard waste at its Carroll County facility off Kabik Court, received a verbal request to stop its food waste operations from the department on Dec. 22 because it did not have correct permits or processes in place to handle food scraps, according to a department spokesman… http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/news/business/ph-ce-recycled-green-0205-20120205,0,5133383.story

The following letter was sent to the leadership of other counties in Maryland by a newly formed organization in Carroll County, Citizens United for Carroll County.
---
We are writing to you because we have learned that a few Maryland counties have expressed solidarity with the Carroll County Commissioners on the issue of PlanMaryland. These counties have joined in Carroll’s request for an extension of the comment period to consider Maryland 's first-ever master plan governing growth and sustainability.
We wish to inform you, however, that Carroll County 's objections to PlanMaryland have nothing to do with clarification of language or other rational considerations. Carroll’s request instead emanates from extreme viewpoints which your county would likely be embarrassed to be associated with.
Simply put, the Carroll County Commissioners embrace extreme political views. ...
