8. Good question. Some info:

BALTIMORE, MD (August 18, 2014) – The U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) released state jobs and unemployment data earlier today. According to the preliminary survey data, BLS assessed Maryland with a decrease of 9,000 total jobs in July. Still, four out of seven months in 2014 have posted over-the-month total job gains. Compared with July 2013, Maryland total jobs are up by 16,300. Maryland's private sector also gained 18,700 jobs over-the-year.

With BLS revision, Maryland's preliminary jobs estimate for June was unchanged, maintaining last month's gains of 7,700 jobs. Maryland's June unemployment rate was unchanged with revision, at 5.8 percent. The July preliminary unemployment rate was estimated to be 6.1 percent.

They'd much rather focus on Fitzgerald's penis to keep Kasuck in charge.

11. But hey, let's believe Kat$hit and his Koch-funded, Faux-news laced sob story ads! FOUR MORE TEARS!

SlowHio's voters are amazingly "stopped-clock" when it comes to electing officials.

The Lehman Lobbyist does NOT deserve another term as governor, but that's exactly what's going to happen.
