Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) is promising to offer a bill to the state General Assembly to protect Marylanders from being “negatively affected” by Congress’s newly-passed GOP tax bill.
“Our goal will be to leave that money in the pockets of hardworking Marylanders,” Hogan said Wednesday, according to The Baltimore Sun. “I am confident that our partners in the General Assembly who have expressed concern over the impact of this tax reform bill will support us unanimously in protecting Marylanders who could be negatively affected.”
“Protecting taxpayers should be a bipartisan issue,” Hogan continued.
According to the Sun, Hogan did not provide specific details about the plan, but said that it would aim to return the extra millions of dollars in revenue generated by the tax bill to Marylanders who may lose federal deductions and exemptions.
Hogan said the plan would be his “holiday gift to the people of Maryland,” according to the Sun.
