Changing Maryland???

Roll back the gas tax.
Use transportation funds for transportation projects. There's no reason for us to have so much wasteful gridlock due to our poorly designed roads.
Do whatever he can to end the current draconian gun regulations, although he probably can't do much without the legislature.

Come on, people! ONE response??? We damn well can't row in the same direction if we're not even talking about which directions we wanna go!

Come on! Three things. Next Gov of Maryland...

Roll back taxes
Create a workable budget and stay within it and no escalation for his term as governor.
Reward agencies somehow that come in lower than their budgets, thus killing the end of fiscal year spending.

How broadly can we define a 'thing'?

Within your good and sound reasoning in context of what you think it is plausible to expect the new gov to get done. You can stretch a bit but, trading Baltimore to Chicago for a hot dog is going to far...

taking off of Grumpy

allow agencies to set aside a portion of the savings as a 'rainy' day fund, help end the orgy of spending that goes on in Aug. by encouraging savings

[gotta spend up that money]

1. Cancel the offshore wind farm...or at least stop any use of state funds (including any fees added to utility bills) for it.

2. Remove any/all political impediments to fracking operations in western MD.

3. Support "shall issue" legislation.


Ha ha, right?

Largely reduce the size and scope of the state govt. Privitize roads and bridges. This should save the state money on SHA, should bring down toll costs (hopefully to zero). Get rid of these special police branches (MTA, transit, etc.) and let MSP run it.

Reduce taxes

Make MD a shall issue state.

Get rid of the gerrymandered legilative districts

Actually none of these things change until the minds of Marylanders change. And that's just not going to happen.

Surely you jest ...
1.Clean it up...both aesthetically as well as working harder to get the crime rate down.

2.Work harder on affordable child care. Many aren't happy living within the system and would rather work. The cost of child care alone can make it not worth the effort. Yet people judge. :rolleyes:

3.Work on having affordable public transportation as well for the same reasons. Not everyone has a car in the drive and can afford insurance and gas to get to work or school. 2 and 3 in a nutshell. Help the people be able to help themselves.
