Here is what I will promise to you, Maryland, right now.
I will not dishonor our Constitution.
I will not break the Law.
I will not seek to alter the Bill of Rights.
I will not be a party to fraud, waste and abuse.
I will not rush to judgement.
I will sign, and hold to, a pledge to not add new taxes.
I will work to maintain and improve transparency.
I will strive to reduce the practice of earmarking.
I will not sign vote on a Bill that is so large it cannot be read and understood within a reasonable timeframe. And I see that timeframe as no more than two days.
I will work to improve the efficiency of fiscal management and reduce waste.
If you can think of more, don’t be afraid to let me know.
