[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. I’m a registered Democrat. I am probably a moderate, absolutely for pregnancy choice, responsible gun laws, not sure what to do about rampant corruption and middle machine politics. Aware of and sympathetic about systematic racism but exhausted by identity politics. Pro science and appreciate technical (and non-technical) competence. [/quote]

Franchot/Anderson-Walker for Governor/Lt. Gov.
Brown for AG
Brooke Lierman for Comptroller[/quote]
Franchot is a big no.[/quote]

Why no Franchot?  That was my sense too reading his articles, it seems like he pisses everyone off too easily but curious to hear your thoughts. [/quote]
He’s 74 years old and his most notable accomplishment in public office has been to create a long list of enemies and grudges.

He also was the decisive vote in favor of widening the American Legion Bridge and 270 through a PPP structure [b]which is bad for the environment and will just result in another ripoff for Maryland tax payers[/b].[/quote]

But what's a reasonable alternative that is going to cost less, be less impactful to the environment, and have the same impact on traffic? Public transportation can only go so far, without having to substantially increase the current public transportation infrastructure (which will have env impacts) and will not be cheap. See - Purple Line. And I'm all for the Purple Line but lets not kid ourselves that there is going to be some easy/cheap non-taxpayer funded solution to alleviating traffic issues around here.
