Hogan, a Republican, said he is planning a "truth in sentencing" measure as part of a package of bills in the legislative session that begins in January. He told reporters after a closed-door meeting of the Baltimore City Criminal Justice Coordinating Council that too many judges are waiving prison sentences for probation for repeat violent criminals.
"I believe that that's not acceptable, and we keep putting those same exact violent people on the streets," the governor said.
Hogan also expressed displeasure that judges declined to attend the meeting.
"We wanted input," Hogan said. "They refused to come."

Yeah, good luck with that.
How about a bill to cut funding to MD universities for acting like they don't have the sense to teach. Like UMES for dissing the MD state song.
3:38 Agree. Why has Hogan not loosen "right to carry" laws / regulations and make MD a right to carry State? Hogan will not push his new agenda. He brought this up because he is looking to the next election and he knows he has screwed Marylanders over and is trying to bluff his way back in their good gracies. This does not change my mind. Who will be running against him as a true Republican?
LOL. Y'all gonna vote him out and get a real democrat. Never going to get shall issue permit in MD.
Only way I vote for him again is if I can get a carry permit before his term is up
So after he passes the Justice Reinvestment Act which lets everyone out of jail and handcuffs judges ability to hold violators accountable, he wants to pretend to be tough on crime and can't figure out why judges won't meet with him? It's because you're a 2 faced opportunistic coward, Larry. Go take down some more monuments.
5:49 at least with a Democrat we all know we are going to get screwed royally. They will not lie to us about their agenda. We will be prepared to be forced into poverty by the Democrat instead of blind sided into destruction by false truths from Hogan.
Want to do something put back the death penalty in Maryland for murderers, and child murders, remember Jessica raped, murderered and then burned! Put your big boy pants on and do the right thing for Maryland.
