From Del. Glen Glass:
Delegate Glen Glass is proud to announce that he will be introducing two bills this session to give a tax break to those who are adopting cats and dogs. The first bill, HB 1243, gives a tax break up to a thousand dollars, which is to go to veterinary services, to those who adopt a government service dog. Delegate Glass stated that “there are so many service animals that are being euthanized every year. It is such a shame.”
The second bill, HB 1302, gives a tax break of up to a hundred dollars to anyone who adopts a cat or dog. Although it is not much, it will hopefully incentivize people to go out and adopt from the shelters. Delegate Glass wants to make sure that anything that can be done to help an animal find a home is being done.
I like Glen Glass but NO
If you want to adopt a dog, even a retired service dog, great. Go for it but don’t expect my tax money to help fund you. Do it out of the goodness of your heart.

This article describes how military working dogs, due to their specialized training usually don’t make good pets.
I think Del. Glass needs to do some more research, and not just form this article.
I didn’t vote for him and am amazed that he got reelected. Why are you using out tax dollars when we have a deficit? Maybe you should stick to BGE meters.
Just more useless legislation. Remember everyone, Maryland doesn’t have any better issues to worry about other than this. I am an animal lover. I have more respect for my dogs and my cat than I do for most people and I feel that this is totally useless legislation at this time. America is at a crucial point in its existence. We were all supposed to “Make America Great Again”. However, all I see is that everything has made America hate again. After 15 long years of doing nothing but creating a State sponsored Organized Crime Syndicate and Terrorist Organization, our government now wants us to put their dogs in our homes. Completely unbelievable……
I am astounded that citizens vote for someone based on the fact that they have enough free time to wave to them every day on Route 22 and other street corners. I hope voters will take a hard look at what Mr. Glass has been doing for the last 6 years as a representative of them. Nothing of any significance…Fought BGE on some bogus internet scare stories that smart meters were blowing up and lost. This is his research team; anyone who posts on Facebook…he believes everything. We have a budget deficit in this state and this man is spending tax dollars on an adopt a government service dog bill. Give me a break. In 2 years we can do better. Mr. Glass is in over his head.
Don’t worry, this idiotic bill will die, just like every other lame-brained attempt he has made to get a piece of legislation passed over the past six years!
Glen Glass is a total waste of our tax dollars AND an embarrassment to Harford County.
Ask ANY of his colleagues on the Harford County delegation and they will tell you the same!
I doubt either bill will be passed. I recognize Mr. Glass’s attempt to help save more animals, but really? Enact respective mandatory spay and neuter law for non-registered breeders. Fine backyard breeders.
Is Glen Glass a political moron or a political joke?
Agree. Reminds me of a few years ago, with all the problems Maryland has, time and $$$ were wasted trying to rename Negro Mountain out in Western Md. Really? There are way more pressing issues that need to be addressed.
So I can go adopt 100 dogs get all those tax credits and return them next day no penalty… Are you sure you’re a fiscal conservative or just an idiot?
