Help Save Maryland has received substantial press coverage for advocating on behalf of sensible policies for Maryland taxpayers and citizens.  Here's a sampling of the recent press coverage:

• On February 9, 2012, Governor Martin O'Malley's Commission on Immigration released a long overdue report on the Impact of Immigrants in Maryland. With a Commission stacked with O'Malley allies, Illegal Immigration lawyers and advocates, and executives who profit from exploited illegal immigrant labor, it's no surprise that the report concludes that legal immigrants and illegal ones, too, are the best thing to happen to Maryland since the blue crab! Listen to the WBALradio interview with Brad Botwin, Director of HSM regarding the Commission's controversial findings and recommendations.
