It's cost of government day
Today is the day when residents of Maryland have worked enough in 2012 to earn the gross income to pay for their share of the spending and regulatory burdens imposed by government, according to Maryland Business for Responsive Government.
The organization said in a news release that the length of time to pay for government in Maryland is among the fourth-longest in the nation at 208 days. Maryland tied with Illinois and Wyoming, but its payoff date is earlier than in Connecticut, New York, New Jersey and Washington state, the organization said.
