  • MD Tech Tax Repealed (Almost)

    Late last night the MD General Assembly sent a bill to the desk of Gov. Martin O’Malley that would repeal the so-called “Tech-Tax”, a 6% increase on “computer services”, which was never clearly defined to begin with. The Gov. has vowed to sign it. This is once again proof that the [...]

    Well, our muscley-armed Gov. Martin O’Malley stuck his neck out early for Hillary.
