Walmart may close stores and will certainly not open the planned distribution center on the Eastern Shore unless Bob Ehrlich vetos this crap and then makes the veto stick.
Exactly--Dem economics--In DC we have an enormous tax on cigarettes. A few miles away is Virginia , one of the lowest cigarette tax states, and the DC council still doesn't get why they are not bringing in as much as they hopes with this tax.LOL If they lowered their tax and made it a few pennies less than Virginia's--they'd clean up with DC, Virginia and Md buyers flocking here.
If they lowered their sales taxes--or declared no tax days--they'd pump up business revenues (and taxes) by eliminating the premium suburban stores have built in--lower property and labor cots.
Stupid to the max.
