MD. LAWMAKERS: BOATING BAN COULD BE EASED THIS WEEK

As three states just to our north lift restrictions on the recreational boating industry, Maryland Republican leaders are calling on Governor Hogan to follow suit. And Minority Whip Kathy Szeliga believes it could happen as early as this week.

Szeliga and House Republican Leader Del. Nic Kipke expressed confidence Wednesday morning that the governor’s directive keeping pleasure boats off the Bay may soon ease up.

“I think it’s quite reasonable that people could take a cruise with other family members without putting the safety of others at risk. I can’t imagine how that would have any negative outcomes,” Kipke tweeted. “I think the governor is on the same page.”

The governor held a call on Friday with Republican leaders in which the boating ban was discussed, according to Hogan’s communications director, Mike Ricci. Szeliga, who was on that call, put it simply in a Facebook post:

Good, it should be!! Small groups isolated on a floating platform should meet the guidelines of no large gatherings. Now open up the golf courses too!!

Hogan should be a leader of his state and quit relying on other govenors policies. Banning boating for people who love the fresh air and not banning kayakers and canoes was a stupid decision on his part. Griw a set Hogan and lead the state.

Why do I see out of staters in OC and on the Shore? Why are they on the beach and boardwalk when we can't go on our boats to get away from them? Hogan is as bad as Biden.

You have rights and you don't need permission, just go on about your business. If they approach you whip out a Constitution. You have a right to peaceful protest, to assemble, mind your business, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and the freedom of religion, they are treading on slippery slopes at best. Ignore their over reach. Its UnConstitutional.Have your day in court. Just go on about your business, i know i am! find the groups that have already lawyered up and suits are coming! Im sure they would love for you to group up with them, if you run into anything UnConstitutional.
