With his own Democratic Party controlling both chambers of the Maryland General Assembly by wide margins, Gov. Martin O’Malley’s radical agenda passed this year without the drama or political fireworks of previous sessions. O’Malley’s victory over compliant legislators burnishes his already strong credentials as a tax-and-spend progressive intent on turning this once moderate state into California East.
Unfortunately, Maryland taxpayers have little to celebrate. They will be clobbered with the 37th consecutive state tax increase they’ve been forced to endure since the former mayor of Baltimore moved to Annapolis and began his all-too-successful campaign to turn the entire state of Maryland into a larger version of that one-party liberal dystopia.
