STATEMENT FROM GOVERNOR MARTIN O’MALLEY ON PASSAGE OF EARN BILL

ANNAPOLIS, MD (March 12, 2013) – Governor Martin O’Malley today issued the following statement on the passage of the Employment Advancement Right Now (EARN) bill:
“There is no progress without a job.

“I would like to thank Senate President Miller and House Speaker Busch for their hard work and support for the EARN bill this session. I’d also like to thank Senator Klausmeier, Delegates Olszewski, Jr., Mitchell and Clippinger - and all of the members of the General Assembly who’ve worked to help more Marylanders obtain the skills-training they need to secure better jobs.

“Though Maryland has built up one of the most highly-skilled workforces in the nation, too many of our workers lack the skills they need to compete for the jobs in highest demand. The EARN initiative will help us bridge that skills gap by creating employer-driven partnerships with businesses so together, we can grow our State’s economy and ensure that every Marylander has the opportunity to learn and earn.”

More BS stuff from the people who waste our tax dollars.

Why this? There are no jobs in Maryland other than fast food or retail.

Even worse on the Eastern Shore. Between Perdue ditching close to two hundred hi-tech / hi-skill (good-paying) jobs and nobody else able to pick up the jobseekers...you can have all the skills in the world and still be un(der)employed!

Nice try guys - but you haven't provided anything useful for the money you've spent.

Maybe next time their terms are up we won't reelect them!

That's in preparation for the upcoming "Earn Tax" on doghouses and leashes. 'Course it'll have to go for a Maglev train around Baltimore, so the graduates can get to work.
