How will Martin O'Malley explain his record as Maryland governor?
(

quote:
Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley has approved 40 new and increased taxes and fees since he took office in 2007 that are projected to cost Marylanders $9.5 billion through fiscal 2014.



Yet....

quote:
Maryland's budget hole has deepened.

The financial problem Maryland's incoming governor already described as "a crisis" worsened Monday, as officials announced the state's budget shortfall is even larger than previously thought.

Over the next 18 months, state revenue is expected to fall nearly $1.2 billion short of Maryland's expenses. The new numbers suggest the state must trim more than $420 million before the fiscal year ends in June, and an additional nearly $750 million out of the first budget Gov.-elect Larry Hogan will submit next year.



And

quote:
Maryland experienced the largest mass exodus of Marylanders between the years 2007 and 2010, with over 31,000 residence leaving the state.

“Virginia is now home to 11,455 former Marylanders, taking $390 million from the tax rolls during this three-year period,” the group said in a statement.



Martin O'Malley's time as Governor was so horrendous, that his very own Black hand picked choice for successor lost by a hefty margin to an old white businessman in 2014. In perhaps the bluest state in the country.


Progressives gonna spend. Forward!
