Heated Walkway Installed at Maryland Governor’s Mansion

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — A new heated walkway is being installed at the Maryland governor’s mansion.

Doug Mayer, a spokesman for Gov. Larry Hogan, said Thursday the old walk needed to be replaced due to safety concerns. He says snow-melting cables were added to save money in the long term, because snow won’t have to be shoveled. He didn’t have an exact cost estimate, but he says it’s under $100,000.

Mayer adds that the decision was made by a department in the administration and that the governor was not aware of it.

They must not know about you and your snow machine.

God forbid someone might have to shovel the walkway. Tax dollars at work!

3 hrs shoveling at $10/HR = 3,333 snow days. Wait. Better recalculate for being a union state employee $35/HR.

just another reason to rob from the State Retirement fund / not repay the Retirement Fund. Reasons just keep building against Hogan as a cost conserving Republican. More ammunition to see a chameleon DemocRAT.

I will gladly sign a contract to keep that walk clear of snow for 10 years for only $50,000.
