ANNAPOLIS – Maryland Republican Party Chairman Audrey Scott released the following statement today after the Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation (DLLR) released the July unemployment report:
“Today Martin O’Malley continued to show how out-of-touch he is with Marylanders by celebrating dismal employment numbers while his own agencies admit the economy is sputtering. While we hope for positive economic news, unemployment continues to hover around 26 year highs and O’Malley’s response to today’s jobs numbers is an unfortunate reminder that he just doesn’t get it.
“The DLLR’s numbers are another indication Martin O’Malley’s record tax increases and total disregard for small business owners have done nothing but cripple job creation in Maryland. It’s rather telling that O’Malley would attempt to spin the DLLR’s announcement that our State’s economy has ‘faltered’ for political gain, and is indicative of a Governor more concerned with keeping his own job rather than putting 211,000 unemployed Marylander’s back to work.”
This morning an email from Governor O’Malley touted job creation “Momentum”
“This morning, we announced that Maryland's job creating momentum is continuing.” (Governor Martin O'Malley. mailto:mom@md.state.us “Jobs Across Maryland” 8/20/10.)
But Maryland’s DLLR counters O’Malley’s claims of economic recovery
Amid reports of uncertainties in financial markets, declining consumer confidence and spending and lackluster hiring at the national level, Maryland’s economic recovery faltered in July.
