TAX-FREE SHOPPING IN MARYLAND takes place all this week. It is good on clothing priced at less than $100 and is sure to be appreciated by many Maryland residents and businesses. I was speaking with a retired school administrator about this and we came to the conclusion that the Comptroller could make a much stronger pro-education statement by expanding that tax-free status to include school supplies. The more I thought about it, the stronger I felt about it so I wrote to Comptroller Franchot and asked him to consider it. Will let you know how that goes!
