[quote]This is the weakest argument I have heard.

Do you really plan on voting for your state governed based on the school calendar? Pathetic and very narrow-minded. [/quote]

I'm not the PP but agree. Hogan's action was to reward campaign donors by overextending state regulation into education in a manner that has nothing to do with educating students, just rewarding beach businesses. He spent NO energy improving schools and only worked to inappropriately hold back cap funds already collected/allocated to schools to improve infrastructure. So its just fine with Hogan if kids are in rooms with failing HVAC as long as his beach business buddies get some kick backs. Worst type of politician.

+1  Though, if Amazon somehow miraculously picks MoCo for HQ2, he just might get enough support to win it.  We moved to MoCo for the schools, and Hogan did nothing good for the schools, only bad.  I don't care about toll roads.  Taxes, maybe, but he's not done much there, either in terms of countering the loss of SALT deductions (we actually aren't affected by this much). I suppose the state assembly is partially to blame in that as well, though.[/quote]

Amazon is not going to pick a site til the end of the year-not clear whether they'll have a decision before the elections.  And why is Hogan getting credit for the MoCo proposal?  The Baltimore proposal failed to get shortlisted.  Other states (like Pennsylvania), had two cities get shortlisted.[/quote]

Hogan put his "powers of persuasion" behind Baltimore's bid.  That should tell us something.

[quote]Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan said he will personally lobby Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos to build the company’s massive new headquarters in Baltimore.

Hogan said he believes pitching Port Covington is the state’s best bet to win the new Amazon campus and its promised 50,000 new jobs.

“We're going to go after it as hard as we possibly can,” Hogan told reporters Friday. “It's going to be a united effort. … This could be transformative, not just for Baltimore City, but the whole state of Maryland.”
