TIm Steelers fan will have to verify this but I believe O'malley is the Maryland Governor that signed the Rain Tax in to law.
My Bet is they will all bend over backwards promising more government programs(and bigger government) paid for by money that they get from making you evil 1%ers pay your fair share of taxes.
Sorry for the delay. I'm happy to speak about that piece of ****...errr...that former Governor, Martin O'Malley. Yes, the magical leader who instituted a tax to tax Marylanders on rain. Let me repeat. We are taxed on rain. Let that sink in if you doubt the absurd lengths to which Libtards will work to extract money from your pocket before poorly respending it.
Here is a list of some of the taxes he instituted while Governor:
Below is a comprehensive list of the major tax increases championed by O’Malley while serving as Maryland’s governor:

The tax increases above represent the most significant increases signed into law by Gov. O’Malley. The Maryland House Republican Caucus has compiled a list of all taxes, tolls, and fee increases signed into law by Martin O’Malley for a grand total of 83.
His claim to fame is signing into law 83 new taxes. He's no different than Dictator Jerry in California, destroying his state through ridiculous taxation.
The result? Baltimore has some of the worst schooling in the country, and one of the worst economies. And businesses? 8,000 businesses fled Maryland, unemployment doubled and we lost 25,000 jobs.
But hey, O'Malley's stench was so bad that we were able to elect a Republican in this ****-hole Democratic state. The sad news...the legislature is so full of Democrats, that when Larry Hogan (R Governor) tried to repeal the rain tax...it failed.
Yep, we're stuck being taxed on rain.
If that ******* O'Malley can gain any traction by pointing to his "track record" in Maryland, then America is far more uneducated and manipulated than I gave her credit for.
