Call for Special Session Repeal of State Income Tax
Gov Tawes plans a special session to repeal the state's 3 percent income tax hike to four percent, a move critics say could ease burdens on localities like Frederick City and County. Local officials seek revenue changes within the existing tax law to share with municipalities, arguing a per capita redistribution could yield about $1 million for Frederick County. The proposal comes as Baltimore City faces a wage tax issue and local governments push for new funding while real estate taxes rise.
