Among the bills signed Tuesday were the More Jobs for Marylanders Act, which created tax incentives for manufacturers to create jobs to parts of the state with high unemployment rates, such as Western Maryland, Baltimore and the Eastern Shore.
Hogan also signed an ethics reform bill which clarifies the definition of a conflict of interest and extends the amount of time state officials have to wait before becoming lobbyists. He called it “the first real meaningful ethics reform in 15 years.”
The governor didn’t sign a bill requiring employers with more than 15 workers to provide paid sick leave, a measure he had previously called “dead on arrival.” He didn’t veto the bill either; he has 30 days from passage to decide what to do with the bill, which passed last week.

Do you know why they are called "bills"? Because they cost us money!
Some good was done, but there still is way to much partisan antics not only in Annapolis, but in Washington DC too. Don't foresee any changes in the next election (MD GOV) or follow on Prez elections either. Sad.
How many will lose their jobs so that the employer can pare them down to below 15 to save on paid leave?
lower taxes down to 1% and let the economy take over. You have to make this area enticing to businesses not just a billboard that says "we're open for business"
115 bills! = more guvmint
Thank goodness bc we really need more
I want to see 115 previously passed 'bills' either gutted or completely dismantled. That would be an accomplishment.
SHOULD HAVE HAD TO REPEAL 2 LAWS TO EVERY NEW ONE
He is a Lame A$$ RINO buying Democrat votes. I will only vote for him if he makes it to the General Election.
