The Democrats New Class Warfare

The latest attempt by Maryland Democrats to seize power from the office of the Governor is starting to look a lot like class warfare.

The Governor’s office put out the following graphics today regarding transportation funding in Maryland. This first graphic shows you the transportation projects currently being funded by the Administration.

And these are the projects that would be funded if the Democrats get their way.

It doesn’t take a genius to see that instead of providing transportation funding for all Marylanders, that their transportation funding plan redistributes money predominantly to Montgomery County.

The Governor’s office also released a list of every single project that would be cut if the Democrats had gotten their way last year and passed this bill that includes the proposed scoring system:

So what you have here is class warfare of the crass and political kind. The Maryland Democratic Party, not content with Governor Hogan’s decision to work on behalf of all Marylanders and to fund transportation projects across the state, have decided to implement a plan that will create net benefits only to Democratic counties. Democratic leaders are knowingly trying to tip the scale not only toward Democratic jurisdictions, but predominantly toward Maryland’s wealthiest county. They are trying to ensure that taxpayer money designated for transportation projects that benefit all Marylanders benefit only one specific county, one that happens to have no elected Republicans in it. This is what political class warfare looks like.

It’s sad, but not surprising, the depths that today’s Maryland Democratic Party will sink to in order to strike a blow, any blow, against this Governor.
