ANNAPOLIS, Md. —The Maryland Senate delayed voting on four of Gov. Larry Hogan's cabinet appointments on Friday, as Democrats who control the chamber continue to express displeasure about the Republican governor's State of the State speech and his budget proposal.
The decision holds up confirmation votes for a week on the governor's first five cabinet positions to come before the Senate. Hogan's speech Wednesday has been heavily criticized by Democrats, who said it painted a dire and unfounded picture of Maryland's economy. The delay comes after the Senate panel that initially reviews nominations gave a favorable report to the full Senate on Monday.
"We heard the speech 48 hours later, and that kind of set the tone for us utilizing, in a more effective manner, the advise and consent powers that the founders of the state entrusted us with," Sen. Nathaniel McFadden, D-Baltimore, said.

ReplyDeleteI think they are out of touch. Maryland has been floundering for quite some time now.

You think!!
They are to stupid to realize they lost the election and the people have spoken. The people are sick and tired of Democrats bending over backwards to illegals. The people are sick and tired of being jobless. The people are sick and tired of poor roads in our communities because the Democrats stole our gas tax. The people wanted change and that is why we voted out many Democrats. That is why we put Larry Hogan in Office. You idiots just don't get it. How many times do we have to tell the RINO's that you can not vote for a Democrat because you think they are a nice guy.
Get over it Democrats, get over it and move on. You lost the election fair and square.
Politics as usual.
ReplyDeleteHogan was chosen by Marylanders to govern the state. These sore losers should step aside and let the improvements begin.
ReplyDeleteAmen to that 11:40.
ReplyDeleteA word of warning to those democrats. The voters spoke. If you don't work with Hogan to bring business back into our state YOU will find yourselves voted out as well.
Fire Them Larry Hogan, and get some real work completed...
