Maryland is perma-blue. Democrats virtually own the state. They litteraly have a license to steal and do anything else they want.
If you love high taxes, excessive regulations, crime, and government corruption then Maryland is the place for you.
Maryland survives off the largess of the federal govt...average income here is well beyond the national average. Most live here for the income... and if you live in Montgomery or Howard county, you have access to the best public schools in the nation.
