Got Ideas?


With 210,000 Marylanders Unemployed, O’Malley Releases Another Attack Ad

ANNAPOLIS
– Henry Fawell, Communications Director for Bob Ehrlich for Maryland, released the following statement today:

“One day after Bob Ehrlich unveiled a ten year vision to get Maryland working again, Martin O’Malley unveiled yet another attack ad devoid of ideas for creating jobs for Maryland families. Martin O’Malley is out of ideas, out of touch, and out of momentum. Like most incumbents heading towards defeat at the polls, he is trying to distract Marylanders from his legacy of massive job losses, record tax increases, and ballooning debt that will be paid by our children. Bob Ehrlich is focused on restoring Maryland’s economy with his solutions-driven plan to create jobs, lower the tax burden on hardworking families, and rein in government spending.”

The record Martin O’Malley doesn’t want Marylanders to know about:
· Martin O’Malley enacted $6.3 billion in tax increases from FY 2007 to FY 2012 – by far the largest in Maryland history. As Governor, Bob Ehrlich has pledged he will oppose job-killing tax increases that hurt working families. Ehrlich also defeated or vetoed $7.5 billion in tax increases during his first term.
· Maryland’s unemployment rate doubled from 2006 to 2010 under Martin O’Malley, with 210,000 Marylanders unable to find jobs.
· Business confidence in Maryland plunged 58% under Martin O’Malley, according to a Jacob France Institute report.
· Four-year spending under Martin O’Malley was $22 billion more than the prior four years.
· Debt obligations increased $2.2 billion, according to the Commission on State Debt.

There is little hope for MD until they get rid of the MOB (Miller O'Malley Busch)!

OMalley-
I am sick of working all the time and still being broke while people who do nothing prosper in your state.I am a registered Democrat who WILL be voting for Ehrlich this year so that maybe the economy will improve so that people can find and keep better jobs and keep more of their hard earned money.You blew it!
