The Baltimore Sun‘s recently launched “Data Desk” now features an interactive and graphically-driven look at the tax proposals offered by Governor Hogan during his State of the State address on February 4.

The Governor’s legislation for these proposals (and others mentioned during the speech) is expected to be formally introduced in the coming days.
