Brown ... More Of O'Malley

While Gov. O’Malley has been out of Maryland in primary states like New Hampshire in his quest for the presidency, we have been treated to the leadership of Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown. I am sure that under Brown’s leadership Marylanders have seen no change at all from the last eight years.

When a national poll shows that more than 50 percent of the residents want to leave the state, then one has to wonder what is wrong. Another state poll on Maryland shows that more than 60 percent of our citizens believe that we are on the wrong track and that we need major changes. Can anyone believe that Anthony Brown will make any changes?

We are likely to have a continuation of the 44 increases in taxes which have caused major companies and individuals to flee the state. Taxes are the main issue, among many others. Fees and taxes under eight years of the O’Malley/Brown administration have skyrocketed. O’Malley has raised everything he could tax, including the rain but not touching the sun and moon so far. That may be left to Anthony Brown. The rain tax is only affecting seven counties so far, but all the others will be hit soon. When people are asked what the most difficult issues that face them are, they reply with taxes and fees being first, and followed by jobs and the economy.
