ANNAPOLIS, Md. (WMAR) — Republicans in the Maryland State Legislature are proposing a bill to expand the power of Governor Larry Hogan to fight violent crime.
The bill specifically focuses on Hogan's powers to declare a Violent Crime Emergency which would allow the state to immediately respond and provide resources.
Senators specifically mentioned Baltimore when crafting the bill.
“There have been 52 murders in Baltimore City so far this year. We are more than halfway through this legislative session, and Rome is still burning,” said Senate Minority Leader J.B. Jennings. “The citizens of Baltimore don’t have the luxury of waiting for the legislature to compromise. Something has to be done now to restore law and order in Baltimore.”

Just pass some more "gun control" laws. That's what they usually do. Make it illegal for anyone to own guns and so that just the criminals have guns (by definition of gun possession). See if that works. Like criminals are currently using legally owned guns. Annapolis is full of leftist dunces. And the murders will continue, and the public will be prevented from protecting themselves.
hogan that RINO/POS doesn't need anymore power, he has to much now for his intelligence level
The crime does start with the corrupt Government in Baltimore and neighbor DC. Throwing money at it is not going to work. Need National Guard to step in. Need to get rid of sanctuary cities within MD first - then illegals - and enforce border control so they don't come back. You can thank the Democrats for sanctuary cities.
