CEO Comments |
---|
“I worked in Harrisburg PA. for most of 2013. There was a lot of opportunity, but the competition was challenging. I have worked in MD for the last four months and have had a lot of success. NY does not appreciate small business. NY punishes well-run businesses and rewards only very large, well-connected businesses. Businesses are punished for growing and hiring workers.”
“Maryland is bad for business because it over-regulates and over-taxes. They think if you make money you then need to give it all back to those who should be better educated so that they can earn a better living.” |
