Letter to the editor: Alsobrooks knew what she was doing

OPINION:

Maryland Democratic Senate nominee Angela Alsobrooks is not what she appears to be (“Angela Alsobrooks, Maryland Senate candidate, wrongly claimed tax deductions for multiple properties,” web, Sept. 22). Her notable and improper use of tax breaks is clearly no “mistake”; Ms. Alsobrooks is an attorney and a former prosecutor.

Actions speak louder than words. Now that she got caught in the realm of these illegalities, Ms. Alsobrooks is proffering excuses that are lame and disingenuous. She knows how to research jurisdictional and property laws but failed to do so.        

Ms. Alsobrooks exemplifies the poor public servant. Her generously funded, multitudinous and damaging attack ads directed against opponent Larry Hogan are laughable considering that she has now demonstrated her integrity is hardly rock-solid.

Maryland voters should not be fooled by her cheek-to-cheek smile, which she readily dishes out during her glad-handing and on-camera moments. What you see is not what you get with Ms. Alsobrooks. She’s proved by her actions that Mr. Hogan is the honorable candidate worthy of that office.
