[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How about that Hogan is happy to continue to take in money from MC, but doesn't give it back at a rate we need!  Our schools are a mess because they can't keep up with adding so many kids each year, our traffic infrastructure is a disaster (if any of you believe the election ploy of widening the beltway and 270 with tolls and or double decker roads ya'll are way more naive than I thought - and by saying naive I am trying to be kind), and his continued ignoring of not just MC, but also BC and PGC, because those are the 3 counties that didn't vote for him in the first election.

Please tell me what it is exactly you like about him, because our money going to Ocean City cannot be it.[/quote]

You can argue it's payback time as Democratic governors routinely ignored the Republican voting parts of the state.[/b]

Many people like Hogan because the state has functioned just fine and dandy during his administration. People don't necessarily seek a governor to radically shake things up. Maryland continues to offer high quality lifestyle to many residents, with good schools and good amenities. Hogan has dumped money into road building infrastructure projects. One can take the view the governor needs to balance the needs and interests of the entire state, not just one or two or three counties. Montgomery County can't get everything it wants all the time, just like Worcester County can't either. And as for Baltimore City - dysfunctional, dysfunctional, dysfunctional (and I love Baltimore and grew up in Baltimore and it will always be my hometown). Most state residents do not look kindly at the state continuing to pour billions into a dysfunctional city. Baltimore City has been controlled by Democrats since the 1950s and Maryland has only had two Republican governors in my lifetime, yet [b]why criticize Hogan for Baltimore[/b]? [/quote]

That makes it ok with you?

There's also a meaningful difference between "Everything in Baltimore is Hogan's fault!" and "Hogan is ignoring Baltimore". People are saying the latter, not the former.
