Just more proof that O’Malley and his cronies just don’t get it and the people that put them there either don’t care, don’t pay attention, or are just as clueless. Very sad situation we are in.

Franchot may be preparing for a run at Government House. Did you read the other story about the Missing Millionaires? O’Malley was banking on the top earners propping up the the budget, but then the economy tanked (or they moved) and lo and behold our number of top earners went through the floor.

This is simply amazing. The politicians KNEW there was financial trouble BEFORE the last budget session. Instead of CONTROLLING spending they raised spending and included the stimulus money in that madness. This after RAISING property taxes the maximum amount, RAISING the sales tax, creating the millionaires tax, building bigger schools. The madness just goes on. Lawmakers have no conscience and no fiscal restraint. Where was Franchot then and why now does he seem to be covering his own bases? I am not impressed. It is high time the people of Maryland and Ann Arundel WOKE UP and elected law makers with some common sense. We are not properly represented by statists and progressives without a collective conscience. It is time to treat government like we do our own individual pocketbooks. If we can’t pay for it it does not happen!
