As a former Michigan lifelong resident now living in the People’s Republic of Maryland, I retain interest in the goings on there.
Michigan and Maryland both hired political neophytes and successful businessmen as Governor.
Michigan and Maryland both had tax and spend liberals as their previous Governors. Jenny Grandstand and martin Owe’Malley. Both ran their states into the dirt financially.
Governor Hogan has direct control of only 17% of the state budget. The liberal run legislature controls the rest of it with required spending bills. Yet, in one year, while battling cancer, Hogan took Maryland from a huge deficit to a $500,000 surplus. Perhaps Snyder should give him a call.
The republicans want to refund much of the surplus back to the citizens. Democrat are trying to figure out how to spend it. They are really that stupid.
The problem is, Tricky Ricky is more like jenny grandtheft than governer Hogan.
