Sales tax went from 5% to 6% in 2007.
Maryland legalized Gay Marriage in 2013.
O'Mally wants to Decriminalize Pot
The Obamacare signups and exchanges are so bad, they are being investigated.
The Feds are looking at Baltimore to house the illegal immigrant children taken from the borders. Do you think the Maryland legislature or Governor will do anything to prevent it? Uh, think Undocumented Democrats.
The School system said our son would never be able to pass college. (They were wrong).
If you had told Marylanders 40 years ago this would be the way it would be, they would have laughed at you.
The Democratic party has taken Maryland left, far far left.
You must have lived in Baltimore City. I can see your desire to move to a better area. Not everyone can live in Arnold, Maryland, I understand that. Unfortunately you were unable too for whatever reason. Sorry about that. The schools in Severna Park are the number one in the nation. It makes me ill to know that you lived in the poor part of Maryland. Sorry about that.
Just to be clear. I do not send my children to Severna Park. Two of the kids go to St. John the Baptist in Severna Park and two go to St. Mary’s High School in Annapolis. Sorry I wasn’t clear.
Arnold is in Anne Arundel County. 44% income tax on top of state taxes (.0256/.0575).

And the Maryland Democratic party itself has moved from JFK type Democrats to being dominated by Weather Underground type democrats.
I actually voted for Democrat Donald Schaefer for governor when he ran (and won). But that was a long time ago and a lot of progressive water has gone under the bridge since then.
I live in Maryland so I reserve the right to tell the truth about the sorry state it is in. Despite having a few small “islands” and some regions (Western Maryland & the Eastern shore & some parts of Anne Arundel county) that are still conservative, those remnants are increasingly dominated by the progressives who INCREASINGLY outnumber them and they effectively no longer have a voice in the direction of the state.
Maryland is rapidly being turned into a “sanctuary” for illegal aliens and the takers are rapidly overtaking the makers as a percentage of the population. Government {and government contractors) are the major employers now in the state and the state survives by sucking tax wealth into the state from the remainder of the nation.
As a current Marylander, let me tell you the truth -— Maryland sucks and will suck even more as time goes on.
