The study, by the anti-tax group Change Maryland, says that a net 31,000 residents left the state between 2007 and 2010, the tenure of a “millionaire’s tax” pushed through by Gov. Martin O’Malley.

    If true, it's a good thing. I'm all for a state having the power to raise taxes as much as they want. I'm also all for the people in that state having the right to move out and live somewhere with lower taxes. Sounds to me this is just the kind of thing that should be happening in response to Maryland's tax policy.
