Gov. Hogan yanks $1.25M in funding for National Sailing Hall of Fame
Gov. Larry Hogan has removed $1.25 million in capital funding for the National Sailing Hall of Fame as the organization moves closer to solidifying a deal in Rhode Island and moving out of Annapolis. The money was deauthorized in Hogan’s fiscal 2019 budget in part because of failure to meet fundraising goals. The summary of the decision lists the project “on hold.” The Hogan administration also has not given the organization another $2 million, originally planned as a follow up to the $1.25 million grant. “The National Sailing Hall Fame has consistently failed to meet their obligations under the Memorandum of Understanding with the state,” said Shareese N. Churchill, a Hogan spokeswoman.

Great. I've never met a republican with a sailboat. Good riddance.
He's going to use it as bribes for Amazon.
At least amazon would be a better roi on the money.
12:43. You must not do a lot of sailing. Most Democrats can’t afford the really nice sailboats.
That money should go toward something that we could use here on the Shore like the National Corn Hole Hall of Fame
What I would like to know is who is the idiot that named that game corn hole because it used to mean something completly different.
Most Eastern shore Maryland citizens can't afford food let alone sail boats. If they have a boat it is usually small.
