Maryland governor pledges to protect residents from tax bill

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Gov. Larry Hogan said he will propose legislation next month to protect Maryland residents who stand to have their taxes go up because of the tax overhaul approved by Congress on Wednesday.

The governor, speaking in Annapolis hours before the bill received final passage about 30 miles (50 kilometers) away in the nation's capital, said the full impact of the measure backed by President Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress isn't fully known yet. But it's clear some people in Maryland will see their taxes go up, while others see theirs go down.
