Comptroller Peter Franchot Thursday sent a strongly-worded letter to Senate President Mike Miller after Miller criticized his performance earlier this week.
“While I always stand ready to engage you in a candid exchange of ideas, I will not allow you to unfairly and inaccurately disparage the work of my award-winning office,” Franchot wrote.
In a letter earlier this week, Miller criticized Franchot over reports that the comptroller’s office misallocated $12 million to $15 million in Montgomery County tax funds to municipalities within the county, including the Town of Chevy Chase and City of Rockville.
Franchot, a Democrat, wrote in his response that Miller is criticizing him because he has attempted to cross party lines on several issues.
“My sense is that your sudden and newfound concerns over the performance of my office are actually based upon my well-documented willingness to reach across partisan lines to work with Governor [Larry] Hogan on fiscal matters of great importance to Maryland taxpayers,” Franchot wrote. “Rather than joining your efforts to launch the 2018 gubernatorial election three years early—as painfully awkward and maladroit as they have been, to date—I am pleased to work with the Governor in a shared effort to hold the line on excessive spending, unsustainable debt and higher taxes on consumers and small business.”

Peter is doing right for the voters not political POS democrats in office.
"your efforts to launch the 2018 gubernatorial election three years early—as painfully awkward and maladroit as they have been, to date"
Bwahahaha - that's classic stuff right there. Way to go, Mr. Franchot. Mike Miller is a slug.
