Same here.

Here also. Very pleased with Hogan. Especially amazing considering he fought an beat cancer early on in his administration.

Okay. Sell me. What has Hogan done to warrant my vote?

Lowered tolls on all MD toll roads, and dropped EZPass monthly "maintenance fee".

Prioritized road projects, while still approving the Purple Line.

Right, and when it comes time to fix those roads, where is the money going to come from?

+1 Spend 10$bn on the Purple Line? Sure. Ensure kids learn in classes of less than 30 kids--sorry, we don't have the money for that.

Heard that too, and I actually really like him.

I can't imagine anyone who has children in the Maryland public school system would vote for him.

Sounds like your priorities are transport. Mine are more related to education of my children, and for that Hogan has been weak in terms of directing resources.

Is Hogan moderate or is he just flanked by democrats in the state legislature? At the national level, I've been watching sit by while Trump appoints a cast of crazies to tear down civil rights, the environment, education etc. There's no reason to believe that Hogan is any different.

Hogan who stayed silent while HIS citizens were impacted by the Muslim Travel Ban is no better. We saw governor from other states out even at the airport trying to help travelers and their citizens. the VA governor was showing compassio while Maryland's leader from a Blue State hid under his desk. He didn't even do anything for the poor 5 year old who was detained for 12 hours away from his crying mother. I believe that the child as a MD and US citizen.

I will NEVER vote Republican in any election again.

I thought conservatives wanted to keep things at the local level. Hogan pulled school calendars from local jurisdictions up to the state. Now he's trying to preempt local sick leave laws. He's pushed funding for the State Department of Assessments and Taxation down on local counties to pay for, but with no say in how it's run.

Agreed. The Baltimore Sun did an article yesterday about how Hogan was using taxpayer funded staff to delete polite public comments requesting the Governor's action on the ban. Shameful.

http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/opinion/editorial/bs-ed-hogan-facebook-20170206-story.html

The Sun's Erin Cox reported on Sunday that as protesters gathered at BWI-Thurgood Marshall International Airport to protest President Trump's order the week before, Mr. Hogan's Facebook page (to be clear: not a campaign page or Change Maryland page but the one he links to from the official website of the governor's office) was deluged with comments urging him to publicly join the opposition. Staff members in the governor's office (again, not campaign workers but public employees paid by tax dollars) deemed the comments as spam and deleted them. Moreover, people who sent the comments found themselves banned from further posting on the governor's page.

I am disappointed he choose to go this route. Its unnecessary. Its also telling.

Despite Trump's and his admin's rhetoric, the actual Order is not a 'Muslim ban'. It falls way short of that. Given this, I would expect a moderate to say that they agree with that the President should evaluate current immigration and vetting rules to ensure refugees and other foreigners coming here are adequately vetted; that he agrees with a temporary ban on certain immigration in order to accomplish this, BUT that he does not agree with banning people from coming to this country strictly based on ethnicity, religion, etc, and does not agree with banning legal citizens. But instead he choose the avoidance route, which says to me that he is comfortable with Trump's rhetoric and with everything that happened.

Lost my vote.
