MD is already ranked 45th among the 50 states for business climate. Senate Bill 766 would make that terrible ranking even worse, and induce more businesses and residents to leave our state.

Maryland has a school choice program - BOOST - but it's tiny and getting tinier.
As the painful religious-LGBTQ conflict in Montgomery County shows, this must change.
Maryland must greatly expand choice, as so many other states are doing.

My TV appearance on @FOXBaltimore regarding my piece for the @MDPolicy on term limits in Baltimore. This can be a good measure to lift voices and challenge the status quo in city gov, a step in the right direction, not a panacea. OK with Question K

Baltimore's property tax rate is far too high, and it's time for residents to take action.

Fact: Most of the murder suspects in Baltimore over the last few years should have been in prison at the time they allegedly killed someone.

How badly are Baltimore's schools performing? In 2019, 15% of Baltimore City 4th graders tested “at or above NAEP proficient” in math, and 13% did so in reading. My latest for @MDPolicy -- bit.ly/3EJN1uT

My latest for @MDPolicy on lying and cheating by Baltimore's school leaders . . . who are behaving as if Baltimore's kids aren't watching and drawing life lessons -- bit.ly/2XkbJBr

According to @GovLarryHogan, 31 Baltimore schools “dismissed students early due to a lack of proper air conditioning” last Tuesday. How can students learn, if it's too hot to be at school? My latest for @MDPolicy bit.ly/3yQ9VN2

There are few things more hopeful than the start of a new school year. But for things to remain hopeful, families in Baltimore will need to see some changes. My latest for @MDPolicy -- bit.ly/2V0gVZZ

In true “you have to break some eggs to make an omelet” fashion, progressives also argue that the trade-off here is worthwhile. Since more people will get a raise than will lose their jobs, they see it as a win for “social justice.”
