💨 Abstract

The Prince George's County Council approved a plan to change how phone line taxes are collected, shifting from a 9% sales tax to a $3.50 excise tax. While supporters argue this simplifies the process, opponents contend it will cost taxpayers more, amounting to a 269% tax increase, and disproportionately impact small businesses, potentially leading to hiring, wage, and technology investment cutbacks.
