Bob Ehrlich: The Return of the Special Interests
As Ehrlich enters week 165 of his flirtation with running for Governor, we want to remind you that Ehrlich was, is and always will be the best friend a special interest group can have.
As Governor, Ehrlich sided with big corporations by opposing the minimum wage. He even sided with insurance companies and against the families of Baltimore County after Hurricane Isabel. This ad points out Bob Ehrlich’s ongoing status as the go-to-guy in Maryland for special interests.
Some highlights of Bob Ehrlich’s special interest ties pointed out in the ad include –
· His new government affairs job with Womble Carlyle, whose client list includes big tobacco, oil companies, slots… even Hugo Chavez.
· Illegally using the public airwaves to promote clients of his firm.
· Siding with big special interest by opposing minimum wage increases three times.
