As businessmen and women working hard to sustain what we created, our efforts result in increased jobs, expanding the tax base, improving properties and ultimately making a positive contribution to the overall quality of life in Maryland. Our time is at hand to be treated with the respect we deserve. Retaining our businesses should be of paramount importance to the elected officials statewide. We count! Having a business group advocating for existing companies is here -- in the form of the Maryland Business Council.
