ANNAPOLIS – Maryland Republican Party Chairman Alex X. Mooney issued the following statement today in response to Governor O’Malley tapping his brother to be Maryland Democrat Party Chairman:
“It’s clear Governor O’Malley is more focused on putting members of his family to work rather than the over 200,000 unemployed Marylanders struggling to find a job. In just the last month alone Governor O’Malley has created more jobs for his family than he has for Maryland over the entirety of his time in office. Between jobs for his family and his national political aspirations, Governor O’Malley continues to put his personal interests ahead of the needs of Maryland Taxpayers.”
100,000 Marylanders have lost their jobs since O’Malley took office. (Department of Labor Licensing and Regulation, www.dllr.state.md.us, accessed 3/5/11)
