Today we’re calling Bob Ehrlich out on his outrageous claim that his fees aren’t taxes. This doesn’t even pass the smell test.
This is the second “Pop-Up Video” in a series that fact checks Bob Ehrlich on his double talk to reporters and voters about his record.
Watch reporter John Harwood do a double take when Ehrlich claims that the Flush Tax isn’t a tax.
In addition to the widely publicized Flush Tax he created, Bob Ehrlich raised the property tax by 58 percent or $700 million; the car tax by 58 percent or $500 million; and filing fees on 79,000 small business.
According to the Maryland Department of Legislative Services, Ehrlich raised taxes and fees by a total of $3 billion.
It’s clear that Bob Ehrlich can’t be trusted to answer a straightforward question.
