Executive Actions Announced to Slow the Spread of COVID-19 in Maryland

Governor Larry Hogan  announced Executive Orders aimed to slow the spread of COVID-19 in Maryland. These orders include the closure of bars, restaurants, fitness centers, and theaters. Restaurants may continue carry-out, drive-thru, and delivery services. Also announced was the prohibition on gatherings of more than 50 people including social, community, recreational, and leisure events.

I am committed to assisting my constituents during this time and keeping them informed as these updates become available and also encourage everyone to practice good health habits and social distancing. For more information: https://coronavirus.maryland.gov/.


I encourage small businesses impacted by these executive actions to utilize the resources available through the Maryland Business Express website: https://businessexpress.maryland.gov/

Governor Hogan also issued an Executive Order prohibiting electric, gas, water, sewage, phone, cable TV, and internet service provider companies from shutting off any residential customer’s service, or charging any residential late fees; and one prohibiting Maryland courts from ordering the eviction of a tenant who can prove that their failure to pay rent was the result of COVID-19 such as lost or reduced employment or needing to care for a child or elderly relative affected by COVID-19.

If you have specific questions about COVID-19 or the latest announcements to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, you may contact me at marybeth.carozza@senate.state.md.us on this or any other constituent matter.

Onward and Upward!

Did you all hear the democrats pushed through the kirwin plan last night late hour at 11???? So get ready for 2.5 billion dollars in tax hikes, along with this recession we are about to have!!!!

Even the senators on the radio were pissed off and beyond disbelieving that at this point in time, with all of this uncertainty and virus stuff goign on, you won't even know what the budget will be like in a few weeks let alone next year, but the good ole boys love to do what they do, and you morons keep on letting them... SO GET READY FOR A 51% increase in sales tax too... That was part of the kirwin plan!!!!

It is now official with this passing that Maryland is now the highest taxed, and the debt to income ratio is so high, we are now #1 in the USA for taxes...

They need to make it optional for someone to work. I know people that have immune issues and they are being made to work at fast food even with offering their hours to others. If you are willing to go without pay, why are they making you work. Last I checked, fast food is not essential.

If this person works at hair Cuttery and doesn't want to come into work to risk her family then why can't she stay home? Seems like some of the closures are really toward small business and the corporations are still open.
