I'm sorry to break the bad new but O'Malley has left the state in total debt of $82 billion. That does not include the massive pension obligations.

Right now pension obligations which are not included in the debt are about $65 billion and if the military budget and government cuts arrive we as Charlie Brown would say are doomed!

Welcome to Maryland the land of the pending broke.

The Governor has lowered state spending $434 million below FY 2007 levels, cut $4.3 billion, and eliminated 3,200 state positions since he took office in 2007.

That speaks for itself.

Don't buy the lies. Never trust a habitual liar. Especially one who never posts any support for their lies.

"Public spending in the Old Line State has risen steadily over the last several years, at an average of 5 percent annually, while population increased less than 1 percent. Contrary to lawmakers’ claims, this year’s ominously named “Doomsday budget” didn’t actually cut spending. Maryland’s budget ballooned by $3 billion this year to $37.1 billion. Deficits are equally massive, weighing in at $1.8 billion in 2012 and $1 billion in 2013. The latest figures from the Department of Legislative Services predict a deficit of over $400 million for 2014 and 2015. Those numbers could easily grow, depending on the outcome of negotiations in Washington over the fiscal cliff."

I quoted from your own link you Idiot!

Maryland has lowered state spending $434 million below FY 2007 levels, cut $4.3 billion, and eliminated 3,200 state positions since Gov. Martin O'Malley took office in 2007.[52]

And you flaming idiots seem to think others are as stupid and ignorant as you are. Not the case. See the footnote fools?
"Maryland has lowered state spending $434 million below FY 2007 levels, cut $4.3 billion, and eliminated 3,200 state positions since Gov. Martin O'Malley took office in 2007.[52]"

Footnote #52 "↑ Gov. O'Malley Press release, "Statement from Governor O'Malley on Revised Budget Projections," October 17, 2009"

You fools are idiots who can't or refuse to read and educate yourselves.
THAT is where Stevie got his propaganda. Form the horse's mouth.

From the same link. Budgets For Idiots who Can't or refuse to read and become educated.

"Governor's Proposed Budget
The governor presented his proposed budget on Jan. 18, 2012, and it can be found here. The budget spends ...$108.5 million more than the state spent in FY 2012"

"The state will face a roughly $1.1 billion gap between expected revenues and planned spending.[29][30] The state faces cumulative annual budget gaps of more than $7.2 billion over the next four years."

NOW I fully expect Stevie to have some bile against the source since he failed to read it.

Yep, sharp as bowling balls those two are....

This was a nice blog about a great company that relocated to Maryland and the usual suspects try to dump all over it and make it all about them...

Steve you are hopelessly outclassed. I never said a word abut the company just the propaganda that O'Malley spews forth. If she knew the truth she might have made a different choice.

You're more qualified for a sandbox conversation not the internet. You get confused too easily.

About them! Where do you see our names. My name is not O'Malley and neither is Joe's.

Bowling ball make STRIKES! You just strike out.

We could save about 2 BILLION a year if we stop housing, feeding and educating illegal's. Cheaper to send them home.

She did her homework. That's why she relocated here. You didn't even read the article did you?

You just saw the picture of the Governor and your automatic Fling Monkey Poo button was activated.

It's another "Ready, Shoot, Aim!" moment from Beelersville.

Whenever I visit my relatives in Maryland, I constantly hear about the bloated state government and high tax burden that Marylanders endure.

Buzz, do not use the word "class" in connection with this bickering over nothing. Try "venal", "short-tempered" or "crotchety".

And Sunshine Review's site is experiencing technical difficulties. Maybe it quibbled itself into knots and shut off.

Looks like raising taxes is the only solution, folks. It's about time people got used to paying more for public services.

Nice article about a MD small business..! Hope it somehow improves her efforts..

Steve
Please don't act as if your incompetent, stay on Message. Hitting Buzz with the ball puts him on base (message), You allow him to load the bases when you go off message. Bases are loaded all the time. and Buzz hits grand slams out of the park as the ball flies over your head bewildered, your relief pitchers are no better , and you still let him load the bases. Stay on message I like to read a good debate Why I Chose Maryland? Born and raised here. O'Malley might get my vote if he can fix the zip codes, Promote Commercial Demolition of old run down properties and revitalize neighborhoods, instead of allowing the destruction of Nature like the Catonsville’s Promenade. Plenty of development is needed in the Zip codes that shared by the city.

You thanked the Maryland Venture Fund and InvestMaryland for investing in your business and I'm sure that if those institutions could actually speak, they would certainly say "You're quite welcome Susan".

But you completely neglected to thank the millions of Maryland tax payers who were compelled by politicians and legislatures to provide you with some of their earnings rather than spending these earnings voluntarily as they wished. On second thought, I suppose that thanking the victims of legal plunder for their "contributions" would be considered rude. Thus, being politically correct rather than factually correct necessitates that these poor souls had to be conveniently neglected when expressing gratitude for political plunder.
