MTA sponsors Annapolis property tax limit petition....Download petition here. Annapolis city residents will be receiving petitions in the mail. By signing on, Annapolitans going to the polls in November will be able to vote for a property tax revenue limit. Since 2002, tax revenues more than doubled. This amendment would protect property owners in the city the same way they are protected in their county. So...Annapolitans look for this petition in the mail. Door-to-door canvassers will also be out later. But don't wait, sign and send your petition as soon as your receive it. MTA notes that most, if not all, jurisdictions have been spending way beyond the incomes of Marylanders and the growth in the state's economy. Only Annapolis city voters can sign the petition. Mail it to: City Tax Cap Petition Drive, c/o MD Taxpayers Association, PO Box 6075, Annapolis, MD 21403.

MTA President Herb McMillan writes in The Capital here on why Annapolis needs this tax limit.

More on the Annapolis tax limit petition from the Annapolis Capital. Even more info appears here.

Annapolis city resident and MTA President Herb McMillan is leading this tax limit effort. To get involved, contact MTA. Phone numbers and e-mail address is located on lower left side of this page. McMillan notes that other jurisdictions should be watching this effort. Only 5 Maryland counties have a property tax revenue limit in place. More on this will be available in this space soon.

Maryland is more than $2billion in deficit for FY 2010, some say closer to $3 billion. MTA Chairman Dee Hodges wrote about General Assembly leaders Mike Miller and Michael Busch and their recent discussion of state concerns. See Baltimore Sun here.

Maryland is a blue state. Read about other blue states, Washington state and Maine voting Nov. 3 on a Taxpayer Bill of Rights to limit the growth of state spending. Maryland is suffering from multi-billion deficits.
