ANNAPOLIS, MD – During the first gubernatorial debate of the general election season, which was taped this morning at WJZ Studios in Baltimore, Lt. Gov. Brown told his tallest tale yet when he accused Hogan of calling for a “$450 million cut to school construction.”
"There he goes again, confusing the facts," Hogan responded.
After the debate, Hogan refuted Brown’s latest baseless claim: “I have never called for a $450 million cut to school construction—ever,” said Hogan. “Lt. Gov. Brown cannot pull numbers out of thin air and attach my name to them. It’s just another example of how this career politician will say and do anything to get elected.”
“After eight years, it is clear Lt. Gov. Brown still does not understand the role of Maryland’s independent Office of Legislative Audits, which identifies potential for waste, fraud, and abuse in state government,” Hogan said. “The OLA has identified hundreds of millions of dollars in potential savings, which Anthony Brown has completely ignored.”
“Perhaps if Brown and O’Malley had listened to some of the suggestions of the OLA, we wouldn’t be in the mess we’re in today,” Hogan added.
Tune in to WJZ-TV (Ch. 13) or MPT at 7 p.m. this evening to watch the debate.
