FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

O’MALLEY’S PRIORITIES ARE NOT MARYLAND’S PRIORITIES
ANNAPOLIS—Today, Governor Martin O’Malley delivered the “State of the State” Address. Dr. Jim Pelura, Chairman of the Maryland Republican Party, released the following statement:
“In today’s State of the State Address, Martin O’Malley spoke of ‘protecting our priorities.’ Unfortunately, O’Malley’s priorities are not the priorities of Marylanders. While O’Malley continues down the path of out-of-control government spending, higher taxes, and according to today’s newspapers yet another hike in utility rates, Marylanders want fiscal discipline from our government, and they need tax relief now.
“During the Special Session, Martin O’Malley increased government spending at unprecedented levels and signed into law $7 billion in new taxes. Martin O’Malley has now proposed the largest budget in Maryland history, increasing spending by yet another $2 billion in the next year. That is nearly a 7% increase in government spending from the prior year. This means Martin O’Malley wants to increase government spending at twice the rate of inflation. He wants to do all of this on the backs of hard-working Marylanders.
“Enough is enough. Martin O’Malley and the Democrat leadership need to keep their hands out of the pockets of working families. Republican and Democrat leaders in our nation’s capital are currently discussing ways to stimulate the economy with tax rebates and putting money back in the hands of working families. Martin O’Malley and the Democrat leadership would do well to follow their lead and slow government spending and provide state tax relief NOW.”
