I guess the Democrats are trying to sabotage Maryland's economy in the hopes of dooming GOP control of the governorship.
Unemployment is such a big help to working families.
This minimum wage battle we fight every year is so stupid. If the goal is to provide a "decent" wage to live on, why not make the minimum wage $30.00 per hour. That's $62,400/year for a single wage earned family or $124,800/year for two. Now, we're talking "decent". Those kinds of wages will swell union dues and state/federal coffers, eliminate those large, crooked companies for profit and make government even bigger. NUTS!!
looking for an upside, iy might be that the wage will make 'unemployment' less atractive
The govt. should mandate a minimum salary of $100,000 per year. The govt. can subsidize this mandate by printing more money.
(no, I'm not serious)
More taxpayer exodus into the South and Midwest.
Wow, Maryland is in serious contention for the liberal Guinea pigs award, eh?

(Just follow the entreprenuers who are in front of you, running even faster and leading the way.) The place is a toilet.
Time to get outta Maryland!!!
Please remove me from ping list.
Hey, a buck an hour is big news! That extra $160-a-month will easily cover the rent on a new set of chrome wheels!
Everytime the 'Rats override one of the Gov's vetoes, they then express shock when the effects he warned of happen.
It's as dependable as the tides.
I doubt that there is anyone in Maryland with an IQ who is working for minimum wage or even for $6.15. Wow, $6.15 an hour. Now there's an incentive to stop hanging out in the projects and selling crack.
Besides, I can't even hire a teenage babysitter for less than $8 an hour.
Besides, if the dims cared about the cost of gas for po' folks, they'd drop the state gas tax.
"Democrats argued that the legislation is a relatively modest measure to help working families, who also are struggling with higher gas costs and utility bills."
Of course, they could have reduced the state tax on gas and utilities, instead they chose to shift the burden of those taxes onto businesses, further deluded by shifting it to the customer in the form of higher prices or worse service/products.
The citizens get what they deserve.
I once lived in the People's Republic of Maryland. I always hated the local politics.
This action will cause businesses to avoid MD if they can set up shop in Virginia.
Marryland is in need of a new name. I hereby nominate "Marxiland" as the new State name. Do I have a second?
