[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maryland is the richest state in the country and a small area. Government is bloated and needs to be cut. Maryland roads are better than all surrounding jurisdictions and always have been. Cuts should come to the schools that have had dropping enrollments since covid. Public schools everywhere in the country are miserable failures and need drastic cuts and complete organizational change. Get rid of the massive buildings and ridiculous real estate holdings and move into a corrugated warehouse with desks , centralized video teachers and only staff being armed security and monitors on test days.

No, Maryland is not the richest state in the country. It's the state with the first or second highest median household income, and that's because a relatively small number of uber wealthy people in inner MoCo skew the state's statistics and mask the its majority middle income and upper middle income households, as well as its low-income households and poverty spread across urban centers, rural areas, and select suburban counties.

Maybe Maryland had better roads a generation ago, but the state's transportation infrastructure has deteriorated from a lack of vision and investment. Today's VA's roads are clearly superior and our neighbor across the river is investing in capacity and design improvements at a scale far higher that what we're doing. Heck, VA is pouring billions into rail and port infrastructure and pulling away from MD.
