The ridiculous one party system we have on the Northeast sucks.
******************************************************
One-party ‘RAT rule in Maryland State Government sucked also. It got so bad that they went beyond what even the ‘RAT loving population in Maryland could stand — and literally enacted a “RAIN TAX”. The special rain tax applied to the square footage of anything on your property that kept the rain from directly falling on bare earth (buildings of any type, driveways, parking lots, etc, etc).
As a result of the rain tax and many other atrocities inflicted on Maryland taxpayers, they finally rebelled and did the unthinkable...elected Larry Hogan, a (gasp) Republican as Governor. He’ll almost certainly be re-elected next month.
He’s about as Republican as is allowed in cobalt-blue Land of Peasant Living, but I’m not enamored of him.
Kind of a Juan McCain Republican.
