Ehrlich Attempts to Mislead Voters About His Record, Launches More of the Same Desperate and Discredited Attacks That Fall Flat
Baltimore, MD (October 14, 2010) -- Governor O'Malley won the second gubernatorial debate with a clear focus on jobs and the economy, leveling with Marylanders about the tough choices we've made to move our economy forward.
In his closing remarks, O'Malley noted that Maryland is making the difficult choices to move forward in challenging times and will continue to move forward with the right leadership.
"We need a Governor who is on our side...I love the people of our state, I'm optimistic about our future, if we have the courage to move forward" said Governor O'Malley.
By contrast, Bob Ehrlich struggled to lay out a clear vision for the next four years, instead falling back on discredited and misleading negative attacks and pledging to take Maryland back to the failed policies of the past, when he raised taxes and fees on every Maryland family by a total of $3 billion, spent more than any governor in Maryland history, and jacked up college tuition 40%.
At a particularly telling moment in the debate, Ehrlich flatly denied that he raised the property tax, when in fact he raised property taxes on Maryland homeowners and businesses by $693 million.
Despite being asked repeatedly by panelists, Ehrlich refused to state how he would pay for the billion in new campaign promises he has proposed.
Who believes that O'malley won the debate outside of those being paid by the O'malley campaign?
