Annapolis, MD – October 21, 2014
– Gubernatorial candidate Larry Hogan today issued the following
statement following reports that a state-run corrections facility
in Baltimore accidentally released a murder suspect.
“The
lives and safety of Marylanders are once again at risk because of a
colossal management failure in an O’Malley-Brown Administration agency.
Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown on numerous occasions assured Maryland
families that his administration had addressed the horrific problems in
the Baltimore City Detention Center, which was overtaken by a dangerous
street gang under their watch.
“How
many examples do overtaxed Marylanders need that Anthony Brown lacks
the management and leadership skills necessary to run our state
government?” Hogan asked.
“Despite
spending $288 million of our tax dollars, he couldn’t build a
functioning Health Exchange website; despite 40 straight tax hikes, he
raided billions from
environmental and transportation trust funds; despite warnings,
assisted living facilities with track records of abuse and neglect were
awarded tens of millions in state contracts; and now we learn that a
state-run detention center didn’t realize for a full
weekend that it failed to detain a murder suspect.”
“As governor, I’ll hold my administration accountable to the people who pay their salaries.”
“What
should be done to correct and prevent problems at the state-run Baltimore City Detention Center?” -
