This year’s Maryland General Assembly was a masterclass in how to fleece taxpayers, punish businesses, and grow the bureaucracy — all while pretending they’re doing you a favor. Here’s the rundown:

1. More Gas Taxes — Because Apparently You’re Made of Money

Annapolis hiked the gas tax again — tied to inflation, no less — guaranteeing it never stops rising. Good luck affording your daily commute.

2. Statewide Bag Taxes — Now EVERY Grocery Trip Costs More

That “small” 10-cent bag fee? Now it’s statewide — and counties are free to jack it up even higher. A tax on basic living.
