[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you ok with Hogan confirming any Trump Supreme Court nominees?

I like Hogan. I’d vote for him for other offices, but giving the GOP another vote in the senate, no.[/quote]

If Hogan is a centrist, as his record shows, why do you think he would vote for anything far right? Has he while MD Governor? He knows who elected him and who he would be representing.[/quote]

Hogan had no choice but to kinda sorta act like a centrist. His hands were tied by the Democratic majority in both houses. Here are some of his not very centrist actions, that lead me to believe that he will be the next coming of Susan Collins. All hat, no cattle.

As governor, Hogan vetoed legislation to gradually increase the minimum wage to $15 over several years. He also vetoed an earned sick leave bill requiring workers to be given five paid sick days per year, and the establishment of a paid family and medical leave insurance program.

He vetoed the education reform legislation called Blueprint for Maryland’s Future,  developed by the Kirwan Commission which would “expand pre-kindergarten programs and increase funding for schools with high concentrations of poverty, increase pay and career opportunities for teachers, create new career pathways for high schoolers who don’t plan to attend college, and establish an accountability board….”

He vetoed background checks for the sale and transfer of shotguns and rifles.

He vetoed a law to increase the number of trained providers and availability of services for reproductive healthcare, including in the two-thirds of Maryland counties without a single provider. After the Maryland General Assembly overrode his veto, Hogan denied a request from the state comptroller to release $3.5 million in appropriated funds for training new providers in quality and safe care.

There is probably a bunch more things I have omitted. A lot of Marylanders lack awareness of how damaging his actions could've been, because they were shielded from the worst of it by the vetoes getting overridden.[/quote]
