Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley (D) on Wednesday vetoed four bills, all of which passed the Democrat-led legislature during its recent session either unanimously or close to it.
O’Malley also announced he would allow three bills to become law without his signature, including a much-debated measure that curtails the governor’s power in granting parole to serious felons. Governors typically allow bills to become law without their signature when they have reservations that are not serious enough to warrant a veto.
None of the bills vetoed Wednesday drew any high-profile debate during the 90-day session, and O’Malley said he was rejecting one of them at the request of its sponsors, who later realized the bill did something that they did not intend..

I remember his campaign ads about when Erlich was in office the last time all he did was raise taxes on Marylanders. Kind of hypocritical don't you think. Now raising the toll to cross the bridge to $5 then $8 in 2013. To me that's a tax to cross the bridge. In state tuition for illegals when someone who lives barely across the state line can't get the same benefit. Let's put more Dems in power to tax us into oblivion. They already take 30% of my money. How far away is the idea that they take half. Imagine that. Work a 40 hour week and the first 20 goes to the government. Then when you get paid for 20 hours they tax you on all purchases(except certain food items), franchise tax on cell phone bills, cable bills, taxes on gasoline, taxes on electricity, taxes on booze, taxes on cigarettes, fishing license tax(it's not a tax so the govt. says but they still get your money to go fishing), and I'm sure there is more. Screw it just take all of our money so the ones that work don't reap any benefits just the lazy ones that won't work and take advantage of the sytem. Oh I forgot property tax(City and County).
