Hogan Calls Brown “jobs plan” a Page Out of O’Malley’s Job-Destroying Playbook


Annapolis, MD – May 6, 2014 – Gubernatorial candidate Larry Hogan today slammed Lt. Governor Anthony Brown’s $112 million “jobs plan.” 


Hogan said, “For nearly eight years, Anthony Brown actively promoted his administration's 40 consecutive tax increases on everything from gasoline, to sales to pensions and even the rain which drove tens of thousands of families, 6,500 small businesses and countless retirees from Maryland.  Now, with 49 days before a potentially career-ending primary, Anthony Brown rips a page from his boss's jobs-destroying playbook by proposing yet another Blue Ribbon Panel.  Maryland’s next governor must act on day one to reverse the job-killing tax and spend policies of the past eight years,” said Hogan.


 Larry Hogan is an Anne Arundel county small businessman, former state cabinet secretary and founder of Change Maryland, the state’s largest non-partisan grassroots organization advocating fiscal restraint and common sense government reform.  A lifelong Marylander, he and his wife Yumi, a teacher, artist and first generation Korean-American, reside in Edgewater.  They have three daughters.

Boyd Rutherford is an accomplished attorney with a record of distinguished public service leadership as Secretary of the MD Dept of General Services, and an Asst. Secretary in the US Dept of Agriculture who was unanimously confirmed by the US Senate.  Boyd has extensive legal, small business and minority enterprise development experience.  He and his wife Monica live in Columbia, Maryland. They have three adult children.
