Blue state Republican daddies are awful,Old Line State Edition
Larry Hogan was elected for one reason and one reason only — to screw over Baltimore’s Black residents on behalf of white suburbanites — and this time it’s actual murder:
Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan doubled down Tuesday on his comment last week that Baltimore received more COVID-19 vaccines than it was “entitled to,” though data released this week by his administration shows the majority of immunizations directed to providers in the city have been shot into the arms of people from other jurisdictions.
While Baltimore had received 114,714 doses of the vaccine as of the time of Hogan’s remarks Thursday, just 38.5% of those immunizations — 44,193 doses — were given to city residents, according to Maryland Department of Health data released by Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott’s office.
Asked at a news conference Tuesday about his remarks last week, which outraged city leaders and perplexed public health experts, Hogan said his assertion that Baltimore had received an oversize share of vaccines was factual and reiterated that it was a priority of his administration to ensure the vaccine rollout was equitable.
“Entitled to” really says it all. Same energy as this, only worse:
It’s all she has to show for more than a decade of work. The MTA spent nearly $300 million in planning, design and land acquisition for the 14.1-mile light rail line. Marylanders still pay the increased gas tax that would have helped build it. But Shaw and her fellow transit riders are left waiting for the bus.
Five years ago, in the face of renewed calls for investment in Baltimore after the unrest over Freddie Gray’s death from injuries suffered in police custody, Gov. Larry Hogan canceled the $2.9 billion Red Line, scrapping a project touted as a windfall of jobs, development and environmental sustainability, especially for some of the city’s Black neighborhoods.
The newly elected Republican governor returned $900 million in federal funding and shifted $736 million of state money to roads in the surrounding, predominantly white counties.
Biden carried this state by 33 points and they still vote for this shitbag.
