It depends on how much he can make the transvaginal ultrasound and get brown people out wings of his party go away. He's actually done fairly good so far.
Hogan has to be pro abortion with all the social welfare problems in Maryland.
Can you explain what you are talking about, please?
Many poor children in the State rely on social welfare programs for support. If that population could be controlled through more abortions, less money would be needed for those programs. Funds could be used for other programs or taxes reduced.

The harping on taking away professional days, like there are even any left, every time MCPS tries to get some calendar flexibility reeks of an agenda against MCEA instead of sound policy.

I guess that was just words.
I was with him until he issued the mandate that schools can't start before Labor Day. Now I'm unsure if I would vote for him when he's up for re-election.

I'm very much a republican, but I'll vote against Hogan. His campaigning for Gillespie, a very flawed candidate, showed his true colors. That is not who republicans are - Hogan should have stayed in his lane. And, I agree with PP who said MoCo hates him - you can't win Md w/o MoCo. He's finished.

As someone left of center, I don't always agree with Gov Hogan, but he hasn't embraced the absolute hate of much of the GOP and there are some areas that I think he has been doing a good job.
How so? How has he been doing a good job?
It really doesn't matter, does it? I don't think anything that can be offered in Hogan's defense will ever convince you. You simply don't like him for whatever reasons. I agree that Hogan has been a solid steward for the state and a decent balance to the Democratic leadership in Annapolis. They seem to get along well enough. He cancelled the transportation projects due to funding concerns, which is sort of understandable as it'd be state taxpayers paying for something most wouldn't have used. There's a lot more to the state outside DC. Not everyone would have agreed, of course, and I'd have preferred if the Red and Purple lines were built, but on the whole I'm fine with Hogan's leadership and will probably vote for him.
He lives about 4 miles outside of Annapolis. Where he is originally from is irrelevant.Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Tonight, it was your friend Ed, the "great leader".

Annapolis went completely Blue. The new mayor is a democrat as well as the city council. That area is Hogan's home turf. Cannot wait for him to be booted out as well.
Annapolis has always leaned heavily blue. The city, that is. Rest of AA is Republican. Has nothing to do with Hogan, who actually was originally from PG County and later moved to AA County.
