Sorry you don't like progressive politics. Hogan had 8 years as governor and the economy stopped growing under his watch. Purple Line stalled which probably didn't help. He was also very divisive at times. I don't get people who are like "Oh he's a nice moderate". GTFOOH. Very partisan. Just not as bad as Trump which is not a high standard.[/quote]

[b]Purple Line was stalled when Hogan started office. He got it going again.[/b]

He also got dedicated funding for Metro. And he got traffic improvements to 270 (added lanes) despite opposition. And he got MoCo private schools reopened during Covid after the MoCo health officer arbitrarily closed them without reviewing their reopening plans.

Meanwhile Moore (who I like) is proposing a massive budget and thereby tax increase, due to Kirwan, and will cut transpo funding. We don't need to spend billions a year on Kirwan. We can already see from DC that blindly throwing more money at schools does not improve outcomes.

Hogan will have my vote.[/quote]

The Purple Line was stalled when Hogan started office, because of a court case. The court case was then resolved. He had nothing to do with that.

What did he do with the Purple Line? Made the project worse by cutting things that made it nicer (for example, grass tracks and art) so there would be more money for road construction, and then botched the project altogether. Thanks to Hogan, the Purple Line will cost $1.4 billion more and open several years later.
