Highlights Ehrlich lobbying firm's work for Casino Developer
Baltimore, MD (October 5, 2010) -- The O'Malley-Brown campaign released a new radio ad today focused on Bob Ehrlich's record as a hired gun for special interests. The newest radio ad highlights the work done by Ehrlich's law and lobbying firm for a casino developer to put a casino at a family-friendly shopping mall in a residential community.
Since Bob Ehrlich was fired as governor in 2006 he's earned $2.5 million representing special interests like casino developers at his Baltimore-based firm.

"This ad is about who Bob Ehrlich is really working for, and the fact that he is not on the side of Maryland families," said Rick Abbruzzese, O'Malley-Brown Deputy Campaign Manager. "Especially in these tough economic times, Marylanders need a governor on their side, representing their interests and allowing their voices to be heard."
While in office, Bob Ehrlich vetoed an increase in the minimum wage, cut funding for public education, and jacked up college tuition by 40%. In contrast, Governor O'Malley has made historic investments in public education, has fought to make college more affordable, and has made the tough decisions to put Maryland's working families first.
The ad will run in the Baltimore market beginning today. The full text of the ad is available below.
