Ehrlich vetoes 8 bills OK'd by Assembly - Baltimore Sun

Is The Baltimore Sun’s editorial board psychic?

Isaac Salazar — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 14:17:52 +0000

Is the Baltimore Sun's Editorial Board psychic, or are Bob Ehrlich's empty promises just that predictable? Days before Ehrlich released his first TV ad, in which Ehrlich makes four separate promises with zero details about how he plans to carry them out, the Sun wrote this: With the fall election campaign about to take off, Marylanders should on guard for dubious claims from politicians of all varieties. Some will be so laughable, you’d think candidates would be ashamed to trot them out. One of our favorites is the promise to simultaneously cut taxes, boost spending and plug a $1.5 billion budget hole (We’re eagerly awaiting the details of Republican gubernatorial candidate Robert L. Ehrlich Jr.’s plan. No fuzzy math, please). In case you forgot, Ehrlich left a $1.7 billion deficit; raised property taxes by 58 percent; raised the car taxe by 58 percent; and tripled corporate filing fees. If voters were holding their breath for the details of Bob Ehrlich's plan and not just more empty promises, it looks like they're going to have to wait some more.

The Maryland Democratic Party and the Maryland Republican Party held a joint press conference today to promote Early Voting. The Party Chairs released this joint statement: As the Chairs of our respective State Parties, we feel strongly that we have a responsibility to educate voters in Maryland about Early Voting. For the first time in Maryland, voters will have more control over when and where they vote. As State Party Chairs, we will work with the State Board of Elections to ensure early voting is safe and secure, giving Marylanders the benefit of choosing when and where they cast their ballots. Early Voting will make it easier for all Marylanders to get to the polls, regardless of their hectic schedules - increasing voter turnout, and giving all registered voters in this state an opportunity for their voices to be heard. This election year, the first decision that voters will make is when and where to vote.
