ACTION ALERT!

Governor O'Malley asked for new Property Management tax in his budget proposal, you acted, and the new taxes were DEFEATED!

You made a difference by joining us at meetings with your legislators, and marching on Annapolis to defeat new real estate taxes which were part of House Bill 448 - Sales and Use Tax. You will have more chances to meet your legislatures. Keep an eye on the HCAR Events Calendar for future meetings.
