A gasoline sales tax proposed by Gov. Martin O'Malley would be detrimental to families and businesses, Maryland Comptroller Peter Franchot said.
During a presentation Tuesday, Franchot said that while his agency will collect any taxes levied by the governor and General Assembly, implementing a sales tax on gasoline would come as a “crushing blow” to families and small businesses.
Last week, O'Malley announced he will propose a 6 percent sales tax on gasoline, although details of his plan have yet to be released.
