You've never seen a bigger blood sucker, lover of over taxation of everyone, than Martin O'Malley, Maryland's finest.

He screwed up the slots issue.

He taxes me an extra $60 per year because I have a septic tank. Claims it drains into the Chesapeake. I'm 40 miles from the Bay.... He raised the alcohol tax 3% last year just because I drink beer. He jacked the sales tax 1% on everything, just because he could.

And, thanks to Marty, MD state law now says anyone making $100k is rich and must pay a higher tax rate than others - all done at 2am in a special session when no can debate or object. What a leader!! Just like the guy who appoints czars.....

This piece of crap is our worst enemy and we've only got 4 years left to stop him.........

Never heard of the bloke...a quick check and found some good things.

As he begins his second term, Maryland businesses are creating jobs again, Maryland students are achieving record success in the classroom, and the men and women of Maryland law enforcement are making Maryland’s streets and neighborhoods safer for our families.

Under Governor O’Malley’s leadership, Maryland’s public school system has been ranked #1 in America for four years in a row, Maryland elementary and middle school students have achieved their highest scores ever on state tests, and Maryland high school students achieved the highest passage rate in America on Advanced Placement exams.

Governor O’Malley’s public safety polices have helped drive violent crime and homicide rates in the State of Maryland to 35-year lows.

With tough choices, the Governor’s policies have helped save the Chesapeake Bay’s blue crab population and make significant improvements to the health of the Bay.

That's pretty good stuff eh..
