ANNAPOLIS – Maryland Republican Party Chairman Alex X. Mooney issued the following statement today in response to the end of the 2011 Legislative Session:
"Another legislative session has drawn to a close with Democrats 'choking' Marylanders with more excessive spending, borrowing, taxes and fees. From hundreds of millions of dollars in new fees to taxing businesses for selling alcohol, Democrats continue to nickel-and-dime our state's job creators and residents to finance their excessive spending. Sadly, this has become politics as usual from Democrats in Annapolis who say one thing to get elected then do another once in office. The same Democrats who are gleefully ushering in sweeping new fees and taxes on Marylanders, denounced these increases on the campaign trail, even accusing the Republicans of scare-mongering for warning of them - Maryland deserves better. Fortunately for Marylanders, six new Republican additions in the House of Delegates were able to help halt the legislature from redefining marriage, while also bringing a renewed call for fiscal sanity and increased attention to creating jobs for Maryland.
"While the legislative session may be technically over, a special session continues to loom large and with projected budget shortfalls, a new round of massive tax hikes could be imminent."

A Republican is blaming the Democrats for "saying one thing to get elected, then doing another..."? LOL!! You mean like the Tea Party Republicans promising to cut $100 billion dollars from the national debt (a pittance, really!) but being okay with $38 billion?? Lying to the electorate is a skill honed to perfection by each and EVERY one of those low-lifes....Thomas Jefferson would have already hung a few of them...we, on the other hand, just keep hoping for the best....don't beat us too bad, massa!!!
