Governor O'Malley's for the working man...unless he drives a car
Governor 'Likes' House Tax Plans; Delegates Plan Night Moves; Consider Auto Repair Tax - WBAL Radio - wbal.com
“O'Malley says he likes the House version better so far. That's because it moves back in the direction O'Malley wanted by putting more of the tax burden on the wealthy and helping working families.”
…
“A House committee voted Friday to replace a sales tax on computer services and video game arcades with sales taxes on parking and repair services such as auto repairs.”
Yep – walk into any car repair shop or any public parking garage and there’s nary a working family’s car to be found.
UPDATE: Apparently this bit of progressivism could affect parts of the progressive coalition and thus is no longer part of the package.
