Virginia December 2025:
We are AAA bond rated in a state that continues to show $10 billion of revenue surplus over the last four years and tremendous growth. And when you compare that, Nick, to our neighboring states, listen, Maryland and Washington, DC, the District of Columbia, just got downgraded this past year, downgraded, and we had our AAA rating affirmed. I believe that the incoming governor is being handed a Virginia that has never been stronger.”

Maryland December 2025:
House Majority Leader David Moon opened with praise for outgoing Speaker Adrienne Jones, then moved quickly to the central problem for 2026: “There’s no money.” He linked that reality to a set of pressures converging simultaneously, including infrastructure needs, housing costs, population trends, and rising healthcare demand. Moon framed growth as a core challenge, stressing that Maryland needs investment to support it, even as the budget tightens

Response:
Folks the State of Maryland and the Moore Administration has squandered $5 Billion Dollars since January of 2023. To getting the $3 Billion Dollars in the hole as of January of 2025.
Now with Tax and Fee Increases of $2 Billion Dollars over the past 3 years, the State is now $1.5 Billion Dollars in the hole.
Interesting Governor Youngkin has left Virginia better than he found it, while Governor Moore has bankrupted Maryland in 3 years. The 2025 election where Democrats were successful was clearly not about “Results and Record” sadly it was about other things like a Government shutdown to sway an election for a Governor’s race. Folks it’s time to start comparing numbers and the Democrats math especially in Maryland simply does not add up!
I cannot stand this state. According to my 74 year old grandmother it’s always been this way. Just got worse over time. I wish we could secede from mainland MD. It was tried before I think we should try again.
