A decent proposal
In Maryland, Republican Larry Hogan is pledging to eliminate the state income tax on law enforcement pensions, if he is elected governor. Hogan is making the proposal Tuesday. He is speaking to the Maryland Fraternal Order of Police in Solomons, Maryland. Hogan’s campaign estimates the proposal would cost about $10 million annually. He believes the cost would be more than offset by encouraging former police to stay in Maryland when they retire and continue to contribute to the local and state economy.
