Planning "Goodbye" to Maryland -- all of it!
The state has the potential to be a great place to live ... but that 'Reality’ is just slipping away. The current leadership has done a really bang-up job creating so many ‘creative’ taxing opportunities that residents should really be mindful of those they elect. Soon we can expect a new “Rain Tax”. Yes, another [environmental] mandate from EPA to state of Maryland (as well as New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia and the District of Columbia). Interestingly, (or maybe not) only Maryland has gone down the path of ‘another tax’ (or whatever the legislature chooses to call this). I’m more than just a tad concerned that continuing to live and to retire here will not be a fiscally responsible decision, especially based on my last 15+ years in the Montgomery County and over 20+ years in the state … mostly ruled by one party and the legislators can never seem to have enough of one’s hard-earned income confiscated for all their pet projects. So I’ve begun my research to determine where my options lie – for now it’s not going to be Maryland. (Please come and visit … you too can help us pay the taxes here)!
