That who double lane bypass is total overkill, costs tens of millions of dollars for literally no reason.

What’s this?

DP. As governor, Larry Hogan killed the Baltimore Red Line and redistributed the state funding to road projects in counties where he received a majority of votes, such as Garrett County. I think this is one of those road projects. https://roads.maryland.gov/mdotsha/pages/pressreleasedetails.aspx?PageId=818&newsId=3893

First of all, the red line money wasn’t redistributed because it never existed in the first place. The state had no viable plan to pay for it.

Second, investment in roads and particularly rural roads was a campaign promise that Hogan made and one that resonated with voters and was a big reason why he won. O’Malley divested significant state resources for roads, specifically and controversially cutting state funds to counties. Why shouldn’t Hogan implement the main thing that he campaigned on and had a mandate to implement?

Third, the fact that this specific interchange has you so mad says a lot about you and it’s not flattering.

That's weird, because the Hogan administration put out a bunch of press releases about the projects they redistributed the money to, and those projects were then built. Maybe the contractors didn't get paid?

Hogan removed the Red Line from the CTP during the planning stage. There was never an appropriation, the state never had the money to fund it and no federal funds were committed.

Here is a list of the road projects that Hogan redistributed money for the Baltimore Red Line to, after he killed the Baltimore Red Line: https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/MDGOV/2015/06/25/file_attachments/402301/Project%2BFact%2BSheets%2B-%2B%2524845%2BNew%2Band%2B%2524625%2BPreserved%2B6.25.2015.pdf

Good for him... we are all sick of Baltimore sucking money from the rest of the state... let it sit in its own dysfunction until people there decide to change its culture.

Sort of Hogan means National bans which Trump wants

Watching Marc Korman have a meltdown on Twitter over Hogan is pretty funny and a strong indication that Hogan is going to win.

I know there’s a lot of concern here that if Hogan wins, he’ll support Republicans in banning abortion.

Lately I’ve been flooded with Hogan ads responding to this fear saying he won’t oppose abortion.

Here’s what I don’t understand. All I’ve heard from his campaign is that he won’t support an abortion ban so we don’t have to worry about that if we elect him. He doesn’t talk about what he will do or what distinguishes him from the Democrat candidate. If the ONLY thing he’s saying is basically “Don’t worry, I’ll vote like a Democrat on abortion”, then it would seem to make more sense to just vote for the D. He’s trying to get us not to vote against him, but he isn’t giving us a reason to vote for him.

The whole machine is really trying to run with this, but its not going to stick. Kind of funny actually, and maybe means the internals say the race is close.

That’s my thought exactly. They have some internals and probably most have serious reservations about Alsobrooks as a candidate. People claim that she is campaigning but I haven’t really seen any evidence of that.

I have my doubts that the race is really all that close, but some of the nonsense the dems instantly put up on twitter about this, may be telling.

They really are reaching. Blaming Hogan for the key bridge??? Hilarious.

They are blaming Hogan for tax increases. It’s insane!

It's not. Hogan is really a very, very long-shot and is likely about 10 points behind.

Note that most of the pre-primary polling showed Trone averaging about 7-9% ahead of Alsobrooks. One poll even had Trone ahead by 19%. In the end, Alsobrooks ended up ahead by over 10%. The polls and media are very anti-PG county and very anti-minority. As a black woman from PG County, the polls and media are going to portray her as a poor candidate and that she is behind. In truth, the state of MD gives a lot more support to Democratic candidates over Republican candidates. While the state might vote for a Republican governor/executive like Hogan and Ehrlich, they are not going to vote for a Republican senator. It hasn't happened for over 40 years and with the divisiveness in both chambers of Congress, it is very unlikely that a Republican candidate outside of district 1 (Eastern Shore) or 6 (western panhandle) has any shot of winning. I think Hogan is much stronger than any other Republican candidate, which is why I think he'll come within 10% of Alsobrooks, but it is unlikely that he gets much closer than that.

I forgot to add that traditionally, MD votes about 65% for Democratic Senate candidates and about 35% for Republican. a 55-45 split for Alsobrooks would be very close.
