Maryland Watch: 1st Term Martin O’Malley vs 2nd Term Martin O’Malley

Martin O’Malley criticized Hillary Clinton for “finally” coming around on gay marriage and saying that “leadership is about making the right decision, and the best decision before sometimes it becomes entirely popular.” On illegal immigration he told Politico that “I’ve never hesitated on these issues even when some would say it was politically risky.” And […]

Maryland Watch: Why Martin O’Malley Can’t Win – Black People Edition

Martin O’Malley is running for President and with the latest Hillary Clinton stumble, many Democrats are finally giving him a first look, since – despite months of campaigning hard – he was still polling at zero.

Maryland Watch: When It Comes to Concealing Communications, O’Malley Was Ahead of His Time

A quick update on the Hillary Clinton vs Martin O’Malley presidential campaign. Hillary Clinton has suddenly become target number one because she used a private e-mail server set up in her home to do all her official business as Secretary of State.

Maryland Watch: Why Repealing the Rain Tax Doesn’t Mean Much, But Means Everything

Governor Larry Hogan followed through on his campaign promise to try to get rid of the rain tax, and it’ll probably pass, but in the end, it won’t actually do much. The “rain tax” itself was the state getting in between a Federal Environmental Protection Agency and any place that operates a stormwater management system […]

Maryland Watch: Hogan’s Mic-Dropping State of the State Speech Cuts Short Honeymoon in Annapolis

At the end of the State of the State Speech, Governor Larry Hogan pulled the microphone from the podium, turned it sideways, stared straight at Senate President Mike Miller and Speaker Mike Busch, and dropped the mic.

Maryland Watch: Color-Changing County Seal, Harford County Economic Development, Annapolis Transitions

Maryland Watch: Color-Changing County Seal, Harford County Economic Development, Annapolis Transitions

Here’s a question that’s bothering me, how much has Harford County spent changing the seal to match Barry Glassman’s campaign colors? When Cecil County considered changing its seal it would have cost $32,000 and it is a much smaller county. Plus, I didn’t see Barry Glassman propose any legislation to change the seal. Still on […]
