Tax Increases

I am sure everyone has been following the news in the state capital. As we all know, the tax bills past in both the House and Senate. How did our local representatives do? Their votes are as follows:

Senator Jacobs - Voted No on all tax increases
Senator Pipkin - Voted No on all tax increases

Delegate Smigiel - Voted No on all tax increases
Delegate Sossi - Voted No on all tax increases
Delegate Walkup - Voted No on all tax increases

Delegate Rudolph - Voted Yes on Real Estate Transfer Tax, Income Tax Increase, Corporate Income Tax, Combine Corporate Income Tax, voted No on the rest.

Delegate Dulany-James - Voted Yes on Real Estate Transfer Tax, Income Tax Increase, Corporate Income Tax, Combine Corporate Income Tax, voted No on the rest.

Delgate Riley - no show?

What happen to the cut in taxes for the lower income and middle income folks? The property tax cut did not make it. The increase in sales tax and tobacco tax are just going to encourage more people to drive to tax free Delaware. Both of these taxes will impact more on the lower income tax payers than everyone else. And lets welcome all of those new companies that have been looking at Maryland because of BRAC with a higher corporate tax. Maryland already has the reputation of not being business friendly. Lets just encourage them to go elsewhere.
