O’Malley calls Gov. Hogan’s real estate dealings a ‘racket’

Former Gov. Martin O’Malley has attacked the man who replaced him in Government House over his commercial real estate interests.

In a series of tweets Wednesday morning O’Malley, a Democrat, accused Gov. Larry Hogan, a Republican, of corruption and running a “Real Estate racket.” In one message O’Malley compared Hogan, who was elected in 2014, to the late Spiro Agnew.

Agnew served as Baltimore County executive, Maryland governor, and vice president in President Richard Nixon’s administration. He later resigned as vice president after taking a plea deal involving one count of failing to report income on his federal taxes.

A spokesman for the Hogan campaign declined to comment on O’Malley’s tweets.

Ben Jealous is right. Larry Hogan’s Real Estate racket is, by its nature, corrupt. First governor in Maryland history to make himself a double millionaire while in office.

Hogan’s Real Estate racket — No disclosure of client interests, not a single recusal on capital budget, decisions, and not a single abstention on any matter before Board of Public Works.

Hogan and company, Hogan and friends, Hogan’s developer clients get whatever permits they want, whenever, and wherever they want. Most corrupt governor since Agnew.

If any Maryland Governor prior to Trump, had made himself a double millionaire while in office with a land and permit assembly business, the newspapers and special prosecutor would be all over him.

Hogan founded commercial real estate services firm The Hogan Cos. in 1985, according to the firm’s website. The companies claim they’ve completed $2 billion in real estate deals and been involved in the development of 35,000 acres of land in the mid-Atlantic.

Hogan really has no one running against him that can beat him. If the Democrats were worried about his being a millionaire and how he got his money they should have found someone to run against him instead of the group of lame candidates that did. I am a registered Democrat but I can not vote for a man who doesn’t even know what State he is running in so Hogan will get my vote.

Maybe Hogan will have more class than O'Malley when he leaves office and not steal all of the furniture from the taxpayers like Mr. Rain tax. Hogan has done more for MD than O'Malley ever dreamed of...

O'Malley is a complete idiot. I wouldn't believe him if he said the sky is dark at 3AM. So, I don't really care what he's saying about our Governor.

Says the man who bought all the furniture for the state house and then took it when he left. Worst governor in Maryland history. Don’t go away mad Martin...just go away.

O'Malley is the worst governor MD ever had. He never met a tax he didn't like. Hogan has been a dream come true after having O'Malley.

OweMalley is/was up to his armpits with sweetheart deals before, during and after his taxaholic tenure. Plus his furniture theft.

We're hearing from him now because he's butt hurt that he wasn't on the mailing list of the guy arrested in FL, and he's trying to generate a smidgen of relevance. Didn't work. Go back to busking at the dock.

O Marley just sour grapes

7:57 - I stand corrected. My memory was a little off - I do remember hearing O'Malley bought the furniture from the State House. The taxpayers paid full price for it and he was able to purchase the furniture when he left for pennies on the dollar somehow. As I recall it wasn't available to the highest bidder or to any MD taxpayer for purchase...My point was that he has the nerve to call Hogan out when he himself has been involved in shady deals. As a taxpayer I felt it was corruption and theft based on what I read.

Retired state employees don't want O'Malley in any office again. I have heard he is planning to run for President.

So both loser OweMalley and Ben are jealous of the fact that Hogan is a successful businessman. Sucking off the gubmint and "non-profit" teats is really the way to go for them.
