“There have been over 2,000 rail crossing accidents per year over the last decade causing 8,494 injuries and 2,503 deaths. The Maryland Railway Safety Act would address many of these unsafe conditions existing in the railroad industry today and is vital to ensuring safe train operations.”

Comptroller Highlights Earned Income Tax Credit.

January 24th, 2025 by WCBC Radio

Residents in many of rural Maryland’s counties have left hundreds of thousands of dollars on the table when they file their income taxes each year. That’s the finding of State Comptroller Brooke Lierman and she would like to see that change. Her office is encouraging eligible Marylanders to claim the Earned Income Tax Credit that can either reduce or eliminate the amount of tax owed….

“A refundable tax credit which means you get money back, even if you don’t owe. In 2023, the average earned income tax credit in Maryland was a little over $1,000 but unfortunately, over 181,000 Marylanders didn’t claim it.”
