Its something when the average poster on here is both more diligent and competent than a possible Senator.


Tons of people make mistakes on the taxes. Do you live in the US? Our tax system sucks.


A county executive who is in charge of tax collections not knowing how to do her local taxes is a little different than a machinist or hair dresser making the same mistake. These things should be in her core competency, and she made at least four "mistakes."

Democrats really should have picked someone else.


Had we known about the Tax fraud issues, we probably would have chosen a better candidate but it's too late in the game to play Monday morning QB and at the end of the day, it's all about preventing the GOP from gaining that Senate seat.


I’d prefer a candidate who pays their state taxes correctly. I’m not a blind voter like you, PP. Angela would have received a notice in the mail every year that she received the senior tax credit so she’s lying about her ignorance. That’s how property tax credits work. All through the mail and the courthouse.


I'd prefer Hogan any day in a Maryland governor's race. Relative to the low bar set by other state governors in modern times, he was a solid executive and fair leader. In a US Senate race during the Trump era, I have to choose the Dem candidate since balance of power in the Senate and therefore in our Federal Government is at stake. Alsobrooks could be a George Santos and from what i am hearing, may be a George Santos, but I'd still vote for her in this case.


And this is the logical conclusion of "Blue no matter Who." This is how we end up with a government full of partisan dunces.


Then you can blame the GOP who elect partisan dunces like Tuberville, the idiotic football coach who thinks that wasting taxpayer money, and denying hard serving military officers their promotions and leaving our military branches without their commanders, is an effective way to protest. Blame the GOP who think that Kennedy of Louisiana is some sort of bright bulb. Blame the GOP who elected JD Vance, who his showing that a Yale degree does not guarantee intelligence and that it is possible for adult males near their prime to lose IQ points every time they talk. With the GOP electing so many hard-liners who vote en masse, then the Democratic states need to vote for bulwark senators to hold the line against those who are ultimate partisans. The GOP started hard-lining back in the days of Newt Gingrich and the rise of the Tea Party. They were the first to elect out their moderates who were the conciliators and concession makers. After this, the blue dog Democrats were elected out and now we have very few moderates left to craft bipartisan agreements across the aisle.

This is the logical conclusion when our major parties have stumped to a level at which one of them inexplicably nominates a candidate as clearly awful as Trump for three consecutive elections and the other party is weak to the extent that someone as clearly awful as Trump has a chance to win. So, yes, we normal people with IQs above 90 are forced into a situation where we have to elect "dunces" to Congress to prevent a situation where Trump could have more power, just in case Trump is actually elected. It's a sad circumstance indeed. Trump being nominated was the first domino to drop so point your finger there first.

Please share your favorite Hogan achievements that lead you to believe he is not a "partisan dunce"?

So you are voting for the Democrat tax cheater?

I suppose if a democrat cheats or breaks the law, that’s perfectly fine.


A bit over-dramatic.

Her grandparents moved out of the house into assisted living and she took over the mortgage without checking and realizing that they had a senior exemption that she did not correct. She is working with DC to correct the paperwork and pay back the difference.

The second issue is that she moved to a bigger, more expensive house and did not transfer the homestead exemption from the lower-valued house to the higher-valued house. So, she overpaid taxes in MD.

Neither of these is that unusual of an oversight. And neither one looks deliberate. Both look like honest mistakes that need to be corrected.


What was the increase in county-appraised value for each of these properties over the years that she owed them? Don't make me go through SDAT.

Jfc, you do the work. You could be the one to blow this case wide open.


Oh stop. People are parroting "she overpaid" without any idea if she did. It's just as annoying as your dismissive comment. Let the people making the assertions do the work.


NBD right? She just screwed DC. As MD always does.


Yes, she saved about $14,000 on her DC taxes over many years.

Hogan canceled a major mass transit project in Baltimore, gave back hundreds of millions of federal dollars that were intended for that project, and shifted the state funds to roads projects near his business properties. I guarantee you he made more than $14k on that at an exponentially higher cost to taxpayers.

Btw, please describe how mathematically she might have underpaid given how the Homestead credit is designed. At best, she came out even. Unless somehow her townhome appreciated much more than her new home. Most likely she lost money.

They are describing a claim in the CNN article. The CNN reporter did not deny or confirm that claim, but the claim makes sense based on home value increases over the last few years. You still have doubts, so go look it up. We're not your research assistants.


Again, deflecting. Where data is available, use it. How are you this dense?
