I'm glad the law was struck down, but, stealing it was not.
The people may not have gotten to vote on it themselves and may not have known that those they elected were going to do something like this in advance.
Representative government.
Okay. So? :headscratch

I don't like the wording of a that sentence, I prefer "It will keep Maryland from stealing over $100M/yr from its citizens".
I also like it better that way.

SCOTUS had an odd day yesterday. They also struck down Maryland's double tax law, but then refused to hear a case resulting in a lower court ruling that said the American Flag was disruptive and that schools could ban them from being worn. The Maryland situation will cause Maryland to lose over $100M/year and could cause similar problems for other states with similar laws.
