Focus
on Maryland |
|
 Alright, I’m thinking
of moving this month! I’m focusing on Maryland and it is so
appealing……crabs, oysters and clams. All my favorites. But
enough about me. This is about you where you want to retire.
Did I say crabs, oysters and clams????????
This state has it all. Dunes to seagrass to marshlands to
forest. It is the wealthiest state in the union and has the
lowest poverty rate. And it is one of the most educated. It
has over 350 bio-tech firms. It is called “America in
Miniature”.
 The majority of the population is in the D.C./Baltimore area.
It is 5.6 million. Maryland is on of the 13 colonies that
revolted against British rule in the American Revolution. In
1790, they gave away the land that is now D.C. During the War
of 1812 when the Brits attempted to capture Baltimore was when
Francis Scott Key wrote the Star Spangled Banner.
The economy is based on several things. The largest is
transportation in rail and trucking. That is comprised on the
industries of iron ore, petroleum, sugar and fertilizer. But,
it is also based on technical and administration services for
defense and aerospace industries. The state also is home to
John Hopkins. All the above makes it the highest in the nation
for white collar jobs.
 The income bracket is 2 to 4.75%. The sales tax is 6%. It has
always been controlled by Democrats. In 1980, it was one of six
states to vote for Jimmy Carter. If makes it any clearer, Bill
Clinton fared better there than any other state other than his
own.
Recreationally, it has everything a person could want. In fact,
the official state exercise is walking. But, you could also
raft, tube, scuba dive, and do anything else. It’s a great
State so check out the communities on our site at
http://www.activeadultliving.com.
Write me with your
suggestions and look for our comments next month on Ohio.
