O’Malley Tax Commission Kicks Into Gear

Annapolis – The Bob Ehrlich for Maryland campaign released the following statement today from Communications Director Henry Fawell after reports surfaced that Governor Martin O’Malley’s tax commission will convene four meetings after the election, beginning just one week after Election Day. The Commission plans to vote on its report as early as November 16^th.  

“Governor O’Malley refuses to be honest with Marylanders about his intentions to raise their taxes again if he’s reelected.  News that his tax commission will reconvene immediately after the election and issue a final report in December tells us what Martin O’Malley won’t: He believes that government can tax its way out of every problem it creates.  Bob Ehrlich knows we can do better and will be honest with Marylanders about his plans.  He will lower the tax burden on families and small business owners to grow jobs and will hold the line on government spending.  The difference is clear: Bob Ehrlich has leveled with Marylanders about his intentions, Martin O’Malley has not.”
