Montgomery County Executive Ike Leggett joined a broad coalition of Maryland citizens in Annapolis to urge a ten cents per drink increase in the tax Maryland imposes on alcohol. Maryland has not increased its tax on wine and beer since 1972 and on its tax on liquor and spirits since 1955. Maryland taxes on these beverages are the fourth lowest among the 50 states. "One dime more can help Maryland meet critical needs," said Leggett. Among those joining Leggett were Delegate Bill Bronrott (at far left) and Montgomery County Councilmember Duchy Trachtenberg (at far right).
