The annual awards ceremony by Maryland’s environmental community was tinged with trepidation Tuesday night as they worried about what was in store from the new Republican governor.
“These are uncertain times,” said Marcia Verploegen Lewis, board chair of the Maryland League of Conservation Voters, which puts on the awards dinner. “We need to protect the regulations we have in place” and “maintain our legacy programs.”
A heavy volume of users to Maryland’s health exchange creates slight delays in service; columnist Rodricks calls food hub a good idea; SHA buys monster snow trucks; Anthony Brown isn’t alone: Larry Hogan also owes a $500,000 loan; Hogan promises tax cuts despite budget problems; Hogan will make major judge appointments; Busch names McIntosh to head Appropriations Committee; new head of Montgomery Dem Central Committee to step down; Arundel County exec-elect begins appointment process; and Harford exec-elect finishes his appointments.
Professor Allan Lichtman has a wonderful predictive tool for presidential elections called the 13 Keys to the White House that he produced in various editions since he developed it decades ago. He has successfully predicted the winner of five presidential elections months and even years in advance, based on a century and a half of election results.
Lichtman has developed no such tools for gubernatorial races, but some of the “keys” provide guidance for another way to look at why Larry Hogan Jr. won this year.
