Excerpts from their endorsement below:
“The main burden of Martin O'Malley's highly regressive 20 percent sales tax falls -- as such taxes always do -- most heavily on poor and middle-class residents and small businesses. Ehrlich promises to correct this unfair situation…
“Because O’Malley is beholden to Maryland's powerful public sector unions, he has done nothing to avert the state's rapidly approaching collision with the $35 billion in unfunded pension and health care liabilities that will turn Maryland into a Hotel California if nothing is done…
“On Maryland's worsening traffic congestion, recall that it was Ehrlich who overcame a hostile Democratic state legislature to get the Intercounty Connector across the finish line after 40 years of dithering in Annapolis…
“Ehrlich's embrace of charter schools offers parents and students a way out. Voters who care about Maryland children should, too…
“Most amazingly, however, is the fact that O'Malley defends Maryland as a sanctuary state, and he calls the flood of illegal immigrants coming here ‘new Americans.’ Ehrlich's scathing retort – ‘If somebody breaks into my house, is that a new member of my family that night?’ -- clearly defined his most basic difference with O'Malley. Voters should return Ehrlich to Annapolis to end this nonsense.”
