Washington, D.C. – Today, February 28, 2011, Congresswoman Donna F. Edwards (MD-4) and Congressman Roscoe Bartlett (MD-6) will hold a media event to highlight research and development at a Maryland manufacturing company. The event will take place at Wabtec Railway Electronics in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Wabtec is a nationwide leader in value-added, technology based products for rail, transit, and industry.
Representatives Edwards and Bartlett introduced the bipartisan 21st Century Investment Act to amend the Internal Revenue Code to increase permanently the Research and Development (R&D) tax credit from 20 to 25 percent. Additionally, the proposed legislation increases for ten years the domestic manufacturing tax credit from 9 to 15 percent, incentivizing the colocation of research and development with domestic manufacturing.

GAITHERSBURG, Md. (AP) — Maryland is fighting for its future amid a changing economy and Gov. Martin O'Malley told business leaders Monday that the state must make choices that spur innovation and create jobs despite tough budgetary constraints.
The governor told the forum for the state's business leaders that he wanted to hear how Maryland can support entrepreneurs and which programs are valuable to businesses and which need to be changed or eliminated. It's the first of five forums on topics including education, sustainability and public safety to help shape the priorities of O'Malley's second term.
"We're all here today I think because we understand that in this changing new economy we are literally in a fight. We are in a competition or a fight for our children's future," O'Malley said. "And in this competition or fight there will be some states that win and there will be some states that lose."
