Demand Tax Fairness to Solve Maryland Fiscal Crisis

Maryland taxes corporate income and income of wealthy individuals at some of the lowest effective levels in the country, yet we have many unmet needs in funding education, health care, and protecting the environment. According to a June 2007 poll, Marylanders by more than a 3:1 margin want lawmakers to go beyond plugging the hole in the budget and create a fairer tax system that asks big corporations and wealthy individuals to invest in Maryland's future. Gov. O'Malley's proposed revenue package is a good vehicle to move Maryland in this direction.
Tell your lawmakers you want "Tax Fairness" now!


Election Reform

Power to voters, not special-interest campaign contributors! Public funding of campaigns makes it possible to pass laws that focus on the needs of all voters, not just BGE, Comcast, and other special interests that fund politicians’ campaigns.
