Governor’s Plan Much More Fair than Bill Backed by Key Senate Committee

A new analysis of the tax legislation approved by the Senate Budget and Taxation Committee
on Tuesday shows that the Senate’s tax changes would impose the largest tax hikes, as a share
of income, on low- and middle-income Marylanders. The analysis also shows that the Senate
plan’s regressive impact is in sharp contrast to the plan proposed by Governor Martin O’Malley
late last month, which would make Maryland’s tax system less unfair overall.
