The Cutting Edge

Even though Annapolis politicians displayed dysfunction at its finest during the final hours of the 2012 Legislative Session, Americans for Prosperity Maryland opposes another special session to raise taxes on working class Marylanders. Our political leaders decided to play political games instead of taking their responsibility seriously. Now, the same politicians want to waste more time passing tax hikes on working class Marylanders. AFP-Maryland is opposed to another Special Session. Taxpayers are tired of politics, bloated budgets and tax hikes. It’s time for politicians to go home and explain why the state budget grew at a time when residents have been cutting spending to make ends meet. Americans for Prosperity Maryland is calling on all Marylanders to contact their elected officials telling them not to convene for a special session of the legislature for any reason.
