[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There was a thread on the Maryland bill about reparations, but it got locked:

There has been an important development today that is worthy of reviving the topic, because everyone on this board predicted gloom and doom from the bill. Governor Moore has vetoed the bill: https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2025/05/16/wes-moore-reparations-vetoe-maryland/[/quote]

He can have a $1M meaningless study.   Or, he can have a very important $2B bridge.  He gets to pick one.  Smart choice.  [/quote]

What would a "study" achieve?  Confirmation that slavery was horrendous, awful, and wrong?  Confirmation that African Americans were mistreated?  Do we need a study to confirm that?

Figure out how to bankrupt the Maryland budget to dispense funds to whom?  All African Americans or just the ones who can prove their ancestors were slaves?  Are all Marylanders going to have to pay taxes for this or just the ones whose ancestors were slave owners?  
This is a Pandora's Box.  Time to lock it and throw it away.

Do you all understand that he vetoed the bill? Also, he already said he’s not running for President.[/quote]
