Tell me what doesn't work.

Every year you're lowered it?

Every single year I've been the governor.

Look it up.

Dude, that's...

Every year I've been the governor, we've lowered the general fund in the state of Maryland.

Look it up.

But it's because I don't – people oftentimes think about a number and they move towards a number.

No.

Tell me what you need.

Tell me what it is that we have to resource.

And look where it was four years ago.

So I think there's a few things that we can do and have done.

One is you do need to make it a more tax friendly environment for your businesses.

This year, I actually we introduced a piece of legislation that I just signed called the Decade Act.

And the Decade Act is actually the most business forward piece of legislation that I think Maryland has probably passed in decades.

uh... and you know with a democratic governor democratic legislature which actually provides incentives for businesses but a hundred million dollars tax cut uh... going to businesses that both incentivizes businesses to stay in the state of maryland and come to the state of maryland and if you just look in recent months we've now announced that that astrazeneca has now made the largest private investment

in Maryland in over a decade.

It's going to support about 2,600 jobs.

We saw how Samsung Biologics has just announced that it's creating its first manufacturing facility in the United States, and they're creating it in Maryland.
