Maryland Decoupling Tax Debate Sways Senate Stand
The Maryland Senate paused a bill to confiscate license plates for drunken driving and a related tax decoupling measure. Legislators feared breaking from the Federal system would deter business and slow development while a $22 million Memorial Stadium bond extension won time for talks with Robert Irsay to keep the Colts in Baltimore. Senator Smelser urged staying coupled with the Federal system, arguing potential gains were uncertain and development efforts rely on consistent tax policy. A summer study commission would examine economic impacts of either approach.
