There is both a mandated end date and a mandated start after date so next year will be the real test. Though maybe it won't be in effect by then

Great.
+1 Hogan sucks. Worst gov since that jerkoff Erlich
Just because you say it doesn't make it true!
Surveys have found that Hogan is one of the most popular governors in the country. You need to get out of your DC area bubble more.
Hogan is awful and Rushern Baker is going to stomp him into a mudhole
Don't bet the farm on it, hon!

How much more did businesses make this summer compared to previous summers?
The article says:
A significant number of the late-August idle spent those bonus days at the beach. Tourism officials say they won’t have the hard numbers for another month or two, but Ocean City hotels, restaurants and color-changing nail-polish vendors say the shift in the calendar has been noticeable in the full parking lots and crowded mini-golf courses.
We have been going to OC for the last 2 weeks of August for years and it did not seem anymore busy this year compared to previous years. There has always been plenty of people the last week of August.

Not sure about Maryland but I spent my money at the DE beaches. Rehoboth is so much nicer then OC which is just gross.
And I agree with the other poster. Less 4 day weeks and random days off. If we could just get rid of the early dismal days then it would be even better.

No thanks. Unless it means none of these stupid 3 and 4 day weeks for grading, parent teacher conferences, PD days, etc. Not everyone has the luxury of an extra two weeks of summer leave plus all those days during the year. Our school doesn't offer camps on the days off during the year, so nearly all my leave already goes to cover those and the last week before school starts when camps are hard to come by.
As a working parent, the longer summer was a financial hardship. However, there has not been a change to the amount of days/hours required, so the compressed calendar means fewer random days off and shorter breaks.
