King Marc of Elrich

By Lori Jaffe (with apologies to Hans Christian Andersen)

here once was a King Marc of Elrich, whose only concern was to raise taxes to support his ideas. No matter how bad the economic conditions in the kingdom were or how much the townsfolk complained, his only concern was getting more money from them. He reigned for too many years, raising taxes every chance he had.

Can Maryland's Economic Exodus Be Stopped?

By Ed Hale for Governor

The fact of the matter is, Wes Moore is failing Maryland while running for president on our dime, and if Republicans nominate the wrong candidate, we're going to hand him four more years to finish the job.

If Wes Moore were to win re-election, as unthinkable as that is, Maryland would experience an exodus the likes of which the "Land of Pleasant Living" has never witnessed. 

Look at your utility bill. Really look at it. Maryland has systematically shut down or phased out reliable power plants without replacing them with anything dependable. The result? We're buying power off the open market at peak prices and passing the bill directly to every single Marylander. Utility costs are now 12% above the national average and climbing. Meanwhile, Calvert Cliffs, the only nuclear plant in the state, one of the most reliable sources of clean energy in the nation, sits at two reactors when it should have three. The proposal to expand it was shelved a decade ago and Moore hasn't pressed hard enough to make it a reality. Instead, he's doubled down on wind and solar, which together provide roughly 6% of the state's electricity. Six percent. That’s doubling down on failed policy.

Bills That Passed

2026 Maryland General Assembly Session

22 April 2026

By Amy Waychoff

HB 444/SB 245 — Immigration Enforcement Agreements - Prohibition

This bill prohibits state and local law enforcement agencies, including county sheriffs, from entering into or maintaining "287(g)" agreements with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

SB 791/HB 1575 — Correctional Services and Public Safety — Immigration Enforcement — Prohibitions (Community Trust Act)

The Community Trust Act prohibits Maryland law enforcement and correctional facilities from honoring ICE detainer requests or notifying federal authorities of an individual's release without a valid judicial warrant. This bill, making Maryland a true “Sanctuary State,” is probably in violation of the Supremacy Clause’s bar on state interference with lawful federal authority. 

 

Stacey Sauter led a group of Republican volunteers and candidates hosting the MCGOP tent at last Saturday's Olney Days in the Park festivities from 3 to 9 O'clock.

Other attendees included Fitzgerald Mofor, Harold Maldonado, Sonya Dunn, Dolores Reyes and Esther Wells.
