O'MALLEY-BROWN CAMP. RESPONDS TO DESPERATE EHRLICH ATTACKS

New TV Ad Will Set the Record Straight
Baltimore, MD (September 27, 2010) -- In response to Bob Ehrlich's misleading TV attack ad and desperate attempt to score political points at a press conference this morning, O'Malley-Brown Deputy Campaign Manager Rick Abbruzzese issued the following statement:

"This is embarrassing for the failed former governor: Bob Ehrlich has spent this election season misleading voters about his failed record of increased taxes and spending, and now he's trying to blame Governor O'Malley for the failures of his own Public Service Commission.

"Everyone knows a fee is a tax, and everyone knows it was Ehrlich's cronies at the PSC that failed to do anything about the 72% BGE rate hike. When voters fired Ehrlich, Martin O'Malley stepped in to clean up Ehrlich's mess and won $2 billion in rebates from the electric companies, all while Ehrlich was enriching himself to the tune of $2.5 million working for a lobbying firm representing special interests.

"Now Ehrlich is trying to play the same desperate blame game with economic statistics and betting against Maryland's future success. Here are the facts: since January, over 33,000 jobs have been created in Maryland. It's the best job growth in a January to August period in Maryland since 2000."

To set the record straight about BGE rate increases, the O'Malley-Brown campaign today is launching a new TV ad, "Real Record," available for viewing here.
