If this is the law of the land...why in a republic (little r) and as republicans, do we allow mere POLITICIANS to the right to use a "title of office" for the rest of their lives as if it were de facto a patent of nobility. Because, as republicans, this should NOT be the case...just saying...

Maryland Governor To Raise Gas Tax 18Cents a Gallon

Martin O'Malley, has raided the Maryland Transportation Trust Fund of nearly $1 Billion dollars since he was elected to the Governor's mansion in Annapolis.  He has used this money pay for non-transportation related budget items.  Now, in order to "pay it back" he is seeking an 18 cents a gallon gasoline tax. That would raise the price of gas, from $3.48 Baltimore area average...to $3.66!  That approaches national high prices...

Yet again, in order to cover the blue/blue social model, corrupt Maryland politicians have stolen money from one trust fund, to pay for items that are utterly unrelated to what that trust fund is supposed to pay for.  This explains why Maryland roads are in such disrepair.  Rather than cut costs, Maryland's politicians have stolen it.

Now, they want to fleece people of the state to replace the money before they're caught.  Baltimore's ABC affiliate has begun to report this...developing.
