Governor-elect Bob Ehrlich will rescind

Governor-elect Bob Ehrlich will rescind the moratorium on the dealth penalty in Maryland immediately upon becoming governor in January, according to this report from the Washington Post, The Post also reports that Ehrlich has renewed his pledge not to raise taxes despite the state’s $600 million deficit. Marylanders like me already pay extremely high taxes (compared to Virginians, for example) for mediocre services. Waste, fraud, and corruption are a way of life here in Maryland, which, in my view, is the main reason Ehrlich was elected in this overwhelmingly Democratic state
