Last month, the Tax Foundation released the 2009 State Business Tax Climate Index, a measure of the "business-friendliness" of each state's tax system, providing a roadmap for state lawmakers concerned with keeping their states tax-competitive. In Part Three of the Tax Policy Podcast's Index Tour, we talk with Christopher Summers of the Maryland Public Policy Institute. Maryland had a large slide down our Index, going from 24th in 2008 to 45th in 2009. Chris discusses what happened legislatively last year contributed to this slide, and offers thoughts on Maryland's budget situation.
