What's the matter with Maryland?

As the clock struck midnight on sine die, the adjournment of the Maryland General Assembly's 90-day legislative session, the traditional shouts of joy, smiles, and ticker tape parade were noticeably absent from the State House.

Online Petition Telling Annapolis to Stay Home, Spend Less

ANNAPOLIS – Annapolis politicians decided to play petty political games instead of responsibly balancing the budget during the 2012 legislative session.  The Maryland chapter of Americans for Prosperity, and it's more than 38,000 members, are opposed to another special session that will increase spending and raise taxes on working class Marylanders.  To help citizens send this message directly to the political hierarchy in Annapolis, AFP-Maryland has created a petition for them to sign at www.NoSpecialSession.com.
