C b m 680 you can e-mail us am 680 w c b m dot com Again you can text into the show using the w c b a mobile phone app for your smart devices are produced this morning John Vincent in for the vacationing Joe Armacost top story once again here we go the out of control Maryland Attorney General Brian Frost announced plans yesterday to file a lawsuit challenging the legality of part of the new federal tax law that he claims disproportionately hurts high tax states like Maryland for our city intends to join the New York led lawsuit challenging the new $10000.00 cap on deducting state and local taxes he said quote It disrupts the longstanding balance of taxing power between the states and the federal government and of quote that the docs known as salt state and local tax provision was previously on capital of Marylanders to reduce their taxable bills by accounting for all the money paid in state and local income and property taxes and taking that off your federal return with the cap in place they're claiming about a half a 1000000 Maryland residents will lose an average of about 12 grand in the doctrines and New Jersey Connecticut also planning to join the lawsuit and the Frost says the primary reason why suing is the cap violates state sovereignty and he was quoting Alexander Hamilton in the federalist papers and he says the state sovereignty idea is something that the framers had in mind from the beginning this again frosh is a Democrat as is and initiated or joined more than 20 lawsuits against the federal government in one year when the General Assembly expanded his powers a lot and to file suit without the governor's approval governor Hogan says he doesn't think it has much of a chance and this is amazing to me Frank because you hear once again the Democrats were complaining when this provision was allowed in the federal tax code that was in a I was only argument or lawsuits about state sovereignty when the salt provision was was provided for in previous. Tax law and tax code but there's a simple remedy for all of this you don't need to the law you don't need to sue you need to waste money taxpayers' money now the journal somebody can fix this problem on their own they have to worry about the feds look it's not the responsibility of the federal government or it's duty to keep in check property taxes and local income taxes and posed by the respective states including Maryland So here to for these states including Maryland in effect been getting away with saddling the federal government with the duties that they are supposed to here to or at least impose so all the state has to do is lower the tax rates and your you know the price far as the property tax rate the counties in Maryland would then have to lower their tax rates. As with the state the state would have to lower their taxes and so it's really the responsibility of the of the various states and not the federal government the federal government is saying look you know we're not going to be responsible for picking up were you guys basically dropped the ball here I mean the point is it's a lot of states like New York Connecticut Illinois California and even Maryland they have higher sales taxes and higher tax rates on property and state and local income tax biggie back tax you name it Marilyn we found out this year is a number one worst state in the union for tax burden and this is what the Democrats are afraid of because people are going to go or wait a minute now I've got to pay a heck of a lot more to the taxes in Maryland Yeah that's because Maryland has imposed these high taxes not the federal government the federal government is treating everybody the same or just removing this provision there's a lot of high tax states to get away with bloody murder and kind of fight it within the tax code and. As it turns out of the states most are released and many other states we're talking about are are blue states Democrat controlled states like like Maryland So look at this tax law according to frosh and he's going to jack up taxes for more than a half $1000000.00 Well Mr Frost there is a way around this all you have to do is get up there on your podium and told the state legislature look we've got to reduce taxes here in the state that you are one right it's amazing to me that that process using Alexander Hamilton and in federal spray president here's the quote States should possess an independent and uncontrollable authority to raise their own revenues for the supply of their own wants an attempt on the part of the national government to abridge them in the exercise of it would be a violent assumption of power nobody's doing that the state of Maryland has it again independent in their own authority to raise or lower their taxes local jurisdictions have their independent authority to raise or lower their property taxes the state taxes the local income taxes the federal government doesn't do that the state of Maryland does this is a monumental waste of taxpayers' money and somebody's got to get this progressive kook off well least the governor urging on the Republican governor Larry Hogan says he doesn't think the lawsuit has much of a chance so I fourteen's I'm a w c b m traffic and weather 1st now well the update here is the man behind the map Chuck Whitaker.

Ok now you're going to get you think you're to do these things in Florida and they're going to escape detection up here in Baltimore. We have got the man behind them out yeah that's what that's you know nothing's private and with the social media that exactly or not sorry. I lost weight on the phone or on the air I got to tell the truth. By the way we lost the legend broadcast legend I guess it was yesterday Jack Jack Gale Oh yeah yeah yeah down here near me yeah he lived in Florida for a number of years I mean he was one of the greatest innovators and brought out a nice. Guy a man of a file. Voices Yeah I mean and funny he is one and he was one of a kind yeah yeah and I thought I had lunch with him at his home and he was tell you bought a station over and both in Alabama and it was an am station that he tried to put the the oldies Bigg Boss jocks things on it and it didn't fly Unfortunately that's another thing you know he's hard you know he was as I said a great innovator and he was actually the 1st hound dog. On radio and nobody who i th Him night time and he did all the voices you know. There's no rock you by white tango. That's it does that is positive or white cargo that wasn't a bird that's right that's sad news and yeah the letters are very good often running here this morning I chuckle see it a couple of 23 the Pentagon recent ban personal cell phones Vox's Rachel so that has more in securing America. And securing America the 23000 people who work at the Pentagon may soon be banned from bringing cell phones to work no decision has been made yet but we are looking at a comprehensive review of how we deal with electronic cynic on spokesperson Dana White says adversaries could use information gathered from electronics to plan attacks secretary's primary interest is to ensure that we are all safe and that we are all secure.

Later joined against the trumpet ministration in one year that has got to be a record and I've got to look it up see how many times Obama was sued over 8 years but they're on a pace right now for the problem ministration for about you know a total of 80 lawsuits and again this is this is a monumental waste of taxpayers' money the latest is challenging the tax cuts and Jobs Act Frank because number $1.00 it's the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution allows for the government when Congress passes a law it is the supreme law of the land and it wasn't struck down as unconstitutional by the Supreme Court than it did that's that's the way it goes and Maryland has every right to levy whatever state local income tax they want whatever state sales tax they want whatever property tax they want in the local jurisdictions and the federal government doesn't interfere with that and I don't see the Democrats that control all the states and there may be some Republicans as well they don't want to take the flak they don't want to be blamed you know for the high taxes in their states and so what they do is they just kind of shuffle the blame over to the federal government and the whole you know the federal government in the past allowing these deductions were more or less the sugar daddies to to make it possible for these various states to impose higher taxes and one of those higher taxes lead to well let's look at it I mean you have Illinois who is bankrupt basically they go stand there the whatever is their sales tax at 9 or 10 percent if I'm not mistaken sales tax and they're still bankrupt because when you when you give when you send money to Democrats whether it be at the federal level or here at the state level they will find ways to misappropriate spend it and of course not get it to the people who need it the most California one in 5 Californians are in Palm. 1st California leads the country in poverty rates and again it's controlled by Governor Moonbeam in a Democrat dominated General Assembly the only thing standing between us here in Maryland and. Tax grabbing Democrats is Governor Hogan that's it and so now we've got frost you know going off once again you know he must wake up 1st thing in the morning and say How can I sue Donald Trump today well that's what happens when you bring a child into the world and you named him sue if All right coming up next the Maryland Democrats want to drop by handgun permit review board they're more of the same as they are now not only one higher taxes they want your guns as well to keep him out of your hands well take a look at stories 529 of course today we're watching very carefully is release the memo day at least that's what we understand will hit at the top of the hour and you're not going to miss the man behind the map that's coming up in the 6 o'clock hour as well.

Last place pick 3 numbers 981 they pick 4 numbers 7245 I'm frankly we're 6 a w c.b.s. News. From the Fox Business Network fear of a backlash on social media is driving companies to take the cautious road with this year's Super Bowl ads they're choosing to avoid hot button political issues opting instead for safe messages of humor the stalled and humanitarian war a growing number of people are living with adults who are not their family or a partner analysis of u.s. Census data by the Pew Research Center shows doubling up getting traction during the Great Recession and is now fueled by parents moving in with their adult children the old stock market Maxim as January goes so goes the year is not as reliable lately the January indicator has been wrong 8 times since 2001 before that all the way back to 1950 it was only wrong 7 times and a mixed day on Wall Street yesterday the Dow gained 37 points with the Fox Business Report on Carmen Roberts. The views and opinions you hear on talk radio 680 w c b.m.w. C b m dot com are not necessarily those of the owners management employers and advertisers of w c v.m. But they should be charged 3624 before they are 6 o'clockne Seanad Frank Marilyn's wake up call if you want to join us on me try gentle ride frosh suing the trouble ministration along with the other states regarding the Federal tax cuts and Jobs Act. You can't afford and nobody's even she said he wanted other w.c. Didn't succeed he will get those calls momentarily but Maryland progressives now want to eliminate the state board that hears appeals from people who've been denied gun permits and put the decisions of the hands of administrative law judges your leisure the same people that are letting criminals on the streets are going to decide whether or not we get exercise our 2nd have every right to be this is just this is looted. The folks. Democratic legislative leaders say the handgun permit review board has overturned a greater number of decisions since Governor Hogan Well I mean it's your numbers have been and I've not increased number of of appeals and applications so it's only natural that would happen a spokesman for calling that claim misleading and she would be right under the legislation now it's just the people denied permits would quote still have an opportunity to appeal what we just one of a politically appointed board with their own philosophies on guns overruling the state police said speaker Bush know well just how politically appointed judges are doing that so that that that makes it Ok and they go they cite some numbers in this article out of the Washington Compost of the parent but you know again in Maryland it is not a shall issue state it should be it is a major issue state and you have to provide a good and substantial reason order to get one and the only thing that you know and I trust the state police but the state police should be given some directions the state police should say you know check this person's background if this person is not a convicted felon if this person is not mentally ill or had a history of mental illness then you know you can't deny him his concealed carry weapon permit period. And Governor Holden should be done instructing the state police and then don't forget about the handgun permit review board state police should be given those directives and that's the reason again who are the state police to decide you know whether law abiding citizens you know need to have a concealed carry weapon permit or not I mean they have one there they can walk around I know they're trained I'm not bashing state troopers and they should be should be able to have firearms but so should we we should be able to have concealed carry weapon permit to protect ourselves when are out about. Well you know that that's another step that there's going to have to be taken by the state legislature legislature to allow for people to carry concealed weapons basically on a you know on a need or or want basis but I don't think you'll see that with Democrats controlling the state legislature so you're left with the permit process you got to get a permit and a handgun permit so. Right now it's this permit review board that makes the decisions of course the state police do background checks but I agree with you I don't think it should be left up to political politically appointed judges because all they'd be doing is May simply replacing politically appointed board members right now and again they have a track record of again letting criminals out way too early out on the street who go out and recommit crime so again with all due respect to the few judges that are doing their jobs again if they were going to do that. Then I would also argue if I would the Republican down in the not close that we change the term of these administrative law judges that they be held more accountable let's go to the phones chalk is on a cell phone of Ken Island morning. Before I got on this or yes well. If I provide options like that state. Well you know I'm upper middle class I own all borders I don't over. Think. They claim to be champions of the middle class for yes they're advocating for the well for us on. Here and I think I've read a statistic I'm not sure exactly what it is but it's in the single digits of the number of Marylanders who would who claim over $10000.00 worth of deductions on their own on their tax return. Oh everybody total deductions are probably go over there but not my state right right so I guess you're right there by fraud but but but here the reason why they're doing that is because in this this once again puts on full display just how high of a tax state Marilyn truly is that unless it's her family most of them are well bingo Chuck thanks for the call appreciate it portend of an e.c.v. I'm Sick City is our number Ruby in Westminster Good morning Ruby taking more in time and I totally agree with every You're saying I'm not a bad reception on the I don't the pranks at the end don't permit review board make decisions on the permit they only hear the appeal filed a permit and remove restrictions on permit they don't actually approve the program the process is the state police make the decision right the state police then approve or or deny if they deny you then appeal to the handgun permit review board and they decide whether or not to uphold the denial or to overturn it right I was I was in bad reception so I may have misheard why not now it's a very good point thanks for be for calling into the show here this morning so and again look I trust the state police but I think the state police do need some direction and again we at some point in time we've got of this issue has to be brought before the courts the 2nd Amendment right to you know to keep and bear arms it does not say you have a right to keep and bear arms just in your home or just in your car or you know I need to not restricted anywhere other than federal buildings of course you're not allowed to carry guns on our own aircraft now and there are some exceptions to the rule but the point being is that you know again and I think there are a couple cases Franken in other states where they are now snaking their way up through perhaps to the Supreme Court and maybe Maryland will be affected by that but that should be Can you imagine if the people of Baltimore City were. Able to carry concealed firearms to protect themselves I you know there already there's an article the paper this morning the crime is trending down. In Baltimore City I would guarantee it would be trending down much further if there were concealed carry weapon permits issued in Baltimore City Well you know the 2nd Amendment grants people the right at some point in time it's going to have to be the Supreme Court that is going to interpret exactly what that means for all the states indeed by the way the there's an article the Baltimore Democrat Party newsletter saying that since Mayor Pugh made that comment about crime being out of control this is a month before she Fire Commissioner Davis for not doing enough to all homicides now now we're seeing articles that crime is trending in the right direction and they are saying that. Murders are down by 29 percent non-fatal shootings down 54 percent robberies down. 21 percent aggravated assaults down 36 percent burglaries down 35 percent this is one month. Again that's a good step. But the at the end of the day you've you've got to judge it or evaluate it on an entire year crime can fluctuate. And I would point out that it was so darn cold even the criminals were even out about being a. Crime in single digit temperatures so we're supposed to feel better now by 44 times traffic of weather 1st with the update here is the king of all traffic the man behind the map.
