Cynical? Yes--this letter to the editor is cynical.
Larry Hogan is a Republican governor in a Democratic state. Despite the overwhelming odds of a Republican governor being elected in Maryland, Hogan won the election. Why? According to the author of this letter to the editor, because Gov. Hogan is a racist. Now that's cynical!
The truth is that many Democrats in MD voted for Gov. Hogan because of his platform. He ran on the premise that government spending and taxes are too high in Maryland--that state government needs to lower both to attract businesses. Businesses mean jobs. Jobs mean economic growth--more government revenue because of a large base, not a high tax rate.
During his campaign Gov. Hogan promised to take a hard look at wasteful spending--like the $2.45 BILLION Montgomery & Prince George's Counties' Purple Line and Baltimore's Red Line. He promised to reduce their cost or eliminate them altogether. That's just what Gov. Hogan has done. He's done what he promised to do during his campaign--and what got him elected. In doing so, Gov. Hogan is a racist. Now that's REALLY the pot calling the kettle black!
