Comptroller Peter Franchot is expected to have a comment or two on the referendum on Maryland's Congressional redistricting maps during a radio appearance later today.
Franchot has never publicly spoken about the redistricting plan approved earlier this year but in a post on Facebook the comptroller hinted that he would "have much more to say on this subject this afternoon" during an appearance on WBAL 1090 AM and during a speech at the Institute of Internal Auditors' District Conference.
Franchot is trying to build himself a reputation as a political outsider.
During a speech last month at Goucher College, Franchot called for real-time campaign finance reporting.
Sources said Tuesday that Franchot is expected to use his radio appearance and speech to come out against the maps as they were drawn by Gov. Martin O'Malley and approved by the General Assembly.
A spokesman for the comptroller declined to comment on the Facebook post, radio appearance or speech.
Also, he is in no way a political outsider. I remember when he called into the Ed Norris show during the 2006 primary elections, and he said that as comptroller, if O'Malley was elected he would do everything he could to support O'Malley's initiatives, and if Ehrlich was elected he would do everything in his power to block Ehrlich's initiatives. Putting the politics of the former and current governor aside, it is hogwash for someone to even pretend to be an "outsider", when they previously agreed to vehemently support person A and block person B regardless of what the issue is. That's almost the definition of the political machine...
