It’s been a snowy week in Annapolis. We had to postpone our Congressional Dinner. We are working with Maryland’s congressional delegation to find a date to reschedule. The weather also forced the Maryland General Assembly to cancel a number of bill hearings in Annapolis. Here are a few headlines from the Chamber Action Network Blog this week:
- Bill Would Extend “Millionaires’ Tax” and Enact Combined Reporting
A proposal to extend indefinitely the 6.25 percent state income tax bracket on high wage earners and impose a system of mandatory unitary combined reporting for corporate income taxes was heard this week. - Higher Education Funding Important to Business
