Governor O'Malley's 6% sales tax is moving forward with a public committee hearing, the first step for any bill to become law on Wednesday March 14th.
The Senate Budget and Taxation Committee already approved an income tax hike in the Governor's budget. The bill will move to a full Senate vote.
Americans for Prosperity Maryland is hosting a press conference prior to the public hearings. Will you attend and keep the pressure on Governor O'Malley and Annapolis to abandon this damaging middle class tax hike?
What: Press Conference and Public Testimony in Committee
When: Noon on Wednesday March 14th

After an unsuccessful attempt to nearly double Maryland's gas tax Senator Rob Gargiola is using disingenuous election time rhetoric by saying he "does not support" Governor O'Malley's 6% sales tax on gas tax.
However Gargiola says he'd still support a "scaled back" gas tax proposal.
The truth is even a scaled back gas tax increase, such as Gargiola's proposed 10 cent increase from 2011, still damages the middle class, adds another burden to all businesses that we will pay for, and evaporates too much money from Maryland's economy.
Sen. Rob Garagiola, now running for Congress, says "We have to be sensitive to the economy. We have to be sensitive to people's pocketbooks."

Americans for Prosperity activists in Maryland can make a long lasting impact by building new relationships and consensus through the overwhelming bi-partisan opposition to increasing the gas tax.
Every person you talk to about the gas tax needs persuaded to contact Governor O'Malley and their State elected officials by phone, e-mail, and written letter telling them to abandon increasing the gas tax.
These three powerful articles are persuasive tools you need to use to activate Marylanders who have never taken action on issues like this!
