Dienstag 27. Juli 2010 von htm
„A health advocacy group is hoping to use this year’s election to pressure General Assembly members into passing a ‚dime a drink‘ liquor tax increase to help pay for health care for the disabled and poor. Maryland Citizens‘ Health Initiative sent out letters Monday to all candidates running for the state Senate or House of Delegates, urging them to sign a pledge supporting the tax. The group said they plan to direct voters to call candidates who don’t respond to the pledge. The letter wasn’t sent to gubernatorial candidates Gov. Martin O’Malley or his Republican challenger, former Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr.“ (Source: Medical News Today, 7/21/10)
