From CHANGE MARYLAND 5.31.12

Change Maryland Drives National Messaging
on O'Malley's Record

Annapolis, MD - As Governor Martin O'Malley diverts attention from Maryland again to focus on personal political ambitions, national media platforms are delivering Change Maryland's message of the problems massive tax increases have had on job growth here at home.

O'Malley is headed to Wisconsin today to campaign for the recall effort of Gov. Scott Walker.

"Our governor is travelling around the country attacking other governors who are doing their jobs and who are making the tough decisions," said Change Maryland Chairman Larry Hogan. "O'Malley is trying to spread his failed tax and spend, job-killing strategies across the country."

An article in Reason.com and picked up in Real Clear Politics yesterday by Larry Hogan shows Maryland's tax base fleeing to Virginia and North Carolina,  This was the subject of an earlier interview today with "Power Talk," WQMR, in Ocean City and will be again later today at 1:05 p.m. on "C-4," WBAL in Baltimore.
