Not a commercial for moving to Maryland:

Gov. Martin O’Malley and the Maryland legislature seem dead set on turning their state into the East Coast version of California – the once happy and prosperous jurisdiction on the West Coast that’s now on the verge of chaos and bankruptcy.
One of California’s many suicidal impulses was a landmark law it passed in 2006 giving unprecedented authority to the California Air Resources Board to implement regulations aimed at reducing emissions at the state level, including a provision mandating a 40 percent increase in fuel efficiency for new cars by 2016 that is currently being challenged in the U.S. Court of Appeals by the Chamber of Commerce and the National Automobile Dealers Association.
Maryland is now heading down the same dead end. Despite the worse recession in a generation, the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Act of 2009 mandates a draconian 25 percent reduction in 2006 greenhouse gas levels by 2020. The legislation was largely the handiwork of a strange coalition of global warming activists and union officials, according to Maryland Commons, a now defunct Web site.
