Does Gov. Hogan Deserve to be Re-elected? Why are MD voters so apathetic? (Baltimore: insurance, how much)

Your second point contradicts your first. You can't claim that the GA is pushing through popular bills to make Hogan look bad and also claim that the GA refuses to pass popular bills during Hogan's term out of fear he will get credit.

Regressive partisan politics at its finest

While Hogan tries to distance himself from Trump, he might do well to find a way to circumvent the Democrats and the media to get his messages out to the voters like Trump has done.

...what is it that he's doing? If he stops doing it will crime go back down to O'Malley levels?

He's paying attention, something O'Malley did not do while he was Governor. You also have to remember that, when he was Mayor, O'Malley implemented the Baltimore version of the broken window theory of crime prevention as well as stop and frisk, things that people of your general political persuasion now find unconscionable.


Plus, Baltimore has some incredibly intractable problems that will take a couple or three generations to fix if we start yesterday.

Of course. It's just hilarious for debold4215 to praise Hogan about Baltimore crime considering how terribly the issue has degraded during his term. I just couldn't resist poking fun at the comment and the level of delusion it exhibits. Exactly 0.0 people deserve praise for Baltimore's crime rate these past three years.

Try 11 years, give or take, and you'll be closer. Hogan has thrown some money for policing at Baltimore (and let's be honest, Rawlings-Blake was a disaster. Pugh has a sympathetic ear both in the Governor's office and the Legislature).

Nuts and bolts stuff. This is inside baseball. Hogan has freed up a lot of highway money this year. Baltimore always had a different, more generous formula, so there should be road projects started after July 1.

And just for information's sake, Baltimore gets funding to maintain all the state numbered roads in the City. The extra money is above and beyond that.

In the rest of the state it's still only at about 45% of Ehrlich's last year but that's better than O'Malley's 5%. Baltimore is now at about 90%.

[quote=Infinite_heights77;50746157]You see, your comment just goes to show you that Maryland separatist ignorance and dividing consciousness most white Marylanders have for Baltimore. I'm not from Baltimore, but my highly educated family are from the city. We attended schools in white suburbs, lived in white folks community and was socialized to live among whites. This small, pissant of a provincial state is one big bag of diversified mess (black, white, gay/straight, conservative, liberal, neo-Nazi, Obay, no Obay...blind, crippled and crazy).

The culture of Maryland (including Baltimore) and her people are backwater, ignorant, anti-intellectual and not good dressers (converting the Maryland flag into a low fashion pair of pajamas...that's some hillbilly s*&t! ).



*No! Don't deflect to just highlight "the white limo liberal types"...I have a problem with them, just as I have a problem with you red state, Larry Hogan-loving (I give Hogan a little respect), pseudo-conservatives, white "tractor trailer racist theology" Maryland is known for.

WOW! You just sound not to smart ! A want to be Marylander I see! Someone that try's to write a sentence correctly lol. You're just jealous it seems, and not to bright at the same time (haha!) Hey, did you know Maryland is the richest most diverse state in the union? Come on now, I bet you really live a in trailer someplace in south west PA with a nice big rabbit antenna for your black and white TV , correct? LOL
