A majority of Maryland voters in a poll taken last week say the new 6 percent sales tax on computer services is a bad idea, and even more would favor its repeal if the tax costs the state jobs, as almost half in the poll fear.
The telephone poll by Gonzales Research & Marketing Strategies found 58 percent of the 807 registered voters contacted were opposed. That included a majority of Democrats (54 percent), Republicans (64 percent) and independents (64 percent). The opposition came from across the state, regardless of geography, gender or race.
