Mizeur proposes income tax cut for 90% of taxpayers
Source: Baltimore Sun
Democratic gubernatorial candidate Heather R. Mizeur is proposing an income tax cut for about 90 percent of the state's taxpayers — to be financed by imposing a higher rate on wealthy Marylanders.
At a news conference Wednesday in Annapolis, Mizeur also rolled out an economic plan that calls for a minimum "living wage" that would reach $16.70 by 2022.
Mizeur, a two-term delegate from Montgomery County, released the most comprehensive income tax plan announced so far by any of the Democratic or Republican gubernatorial candidates. Her plan came complete with new tax tables showing cuts in the tax rate for income between $3,000 and $100,000 for individuals and $3,000 and $150,000 for joint filers.
"It's counterintuitive that a liberal Democrat is cutting taxes, right?" Mizeur said. "This is how we create a robust economy that works for middle-class families."
