O'Malley Violating State Constitution

As of July 1st the state of Maryland is $389 Million in the red due to O'Malley and the democrats that tried to use gimmicks and chicanery instead of passing a realistic budget that did not rely on a hoped for federal bailout. The bailout isn't here, and now our state government is breaking the law. The Maryland state constitution (Article III, Subsection 5a) does not allow for a running deficit and requires a balanced budget.

Even though these liberal politicians have raised our taxes, their unending spending continues unabated and now we are in the red. Now we will hear how firefighters, police, and teachers will loose their jobs if we don't accept new tax increases, rather than curbing the rampant waste elsewhere in the budget.

Every delegate, state senator, that voted for this budget, as well as Owe'Malley need to be held accountable and voted out of office. They have violated their oath of office to uphold the constitution, and should not be allowed to serve citizens that have to balance household budgets.
