Hogan cuts off funding for state criminal justice council

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (WBFF) - Gov. Larry Hogan has just announced he is cutting off funding for the state's criminal justice coordinating council.

It follows his criticism of three judges for failing to attend a recent meeting with the governor to focus on Baltimore crime.

Fox45's John Rydell explains this is a panel of judges, prosecutors, police and public officials that meets on a regular basis to discuss criminal justice issues.

But speaking to reports this afternoon, the governor says he is fed up with what he believes is a lack of urgency in how the council is addressing the violent crime in Baltimore City.

He has therefore decided to cut off funding to the state panel.

This is what happens when you appease Democrats and act like a Democrat. That do not act because they believe they have you. So what is Hogan going to do now try and return to the Republican way? LOL

Sounds like a (great) plan. When you hit 'em in their pocketbook they'll take notice.
