• Maryland State Capitol building is the only state capitol to have served as the nation’s capital.
• Maryland lawmaker Vaughn Stewart has proposed a four-day workweek bill to create a five-year experiment with $750,000 in tax credits for Maryland businesses.
• Stewart believes that the four-day workweek is the future and is connected to the original American dream of increased productivity and less work.
• The bill is supported by 92% of Americans and has attracted more attention than any of Stewart’s other bills.
• The bill is not without criticism, with some libertarians arguing that the state should not meddle in private businesses.
• Stewart believes that the bill is necessary to improve the quality of life for Marylanders and that it is not a large expense in the grand scheme of the state budget.
