Rebuilding And Restoring

These past few days have not been easy. We still have Marylanders without power and families with homes that have been destroyed by mother nature. But utility crews continue to work around the clock, our Insurance Administration is ready to help families with claims and we continue to work with our federal and local partners to help Marylanders in need. We’re making progress, but won’t rest until every community is fully restored.

But even as we rebuild and restore our communities from an uncontrollable natural disaster, we also remain focused on spurring economic development to create and save jobs.

This morning, we kicked off the inaugural meeting of the Maryland Venture Fund Authority—a group that will oversee our new InvestMaryland initiative.

InvestMaryland is the single largest infusion of Venture Capital into our State’s economy—an infusion that will create thousands of jobs and spur millions of dollars in economic development.

On, no. ANOTHER rpogram to "create THOUSANDS of new jobs". How many times are these politicians going to run that past the citizens? And how many times will we fall for that? He should be (but never is) ashamed. I guess he can't come out and say "I'm going down as the most anti-business governor in Maryland history. I want to make it so hard for businesses to prosper, you won't believe it."
