JAN 28 | WASHINGTON, DC – Nationally-recognized American economist and “father of supply-side economics,” Arthur Laffer, spoke at a fundraiser reception hosted by Maryland gubernatorial candidate, Charles Lollar, in support of Lollar's plan to eliminate the state income tax in Maryland.

Laffer served as a member of President Reagan’s Economic Policy Board and advised Republican presidential candidate, Mitt Romney. He is currently advising a number prominent Republican governors including Rick Perry, Scott Walker, and Sam Brownback.

Lollar announced his plan to make Maryland the next state to join nine other "zero income tax" states during a WBFF FOX45 televised GOP gubernatorial candidate debate on January 16th.

He criticized Maryland’s excessive tax and regulatory policies as reasons businesses and jobs are fleeing the state and called for an end to the “bait and switch” taxes and fees he says are routinely used to backfill budget shortfalls caused by “out-of-control spending in Annapolis.”

Within weeks of the FOX45 debate, Beretta USA announced plans to leave Maryland and build a $45 million manufacturing facility near Nashville, Tennessee, a "zero income tax" state. This move will result in the loss of 300 jobs in Maryland.
