Found here. Short version: the new governor wants it, the state legislature maybe doesn’t, and everybody’s waiting for King v. Burwell. What fun…

My watchdog.org piece on Maryland mandatory sentencing reform is up.
Found here. Short version: they’re fiddling with some of the fiddly bits. And, honestly, I think that giving judges a little more flexibility isn’t the problem now that it was in the Death Wish era.
My Watchdog.org post on civil asset forfeiture is up.
Found here. Short version: Larry Hogan vetoed it, and I kind of wish he hadn’t. Civil asset forfeiture is kind of massively uncool.
My Watchdog.org piece on Maryland online sales tax disputes is up.
Link here. Short version: big hotels versus travel agencies. And the governor of Maryland stuck in the middle.
My Watchdog.org post on NY charter schools is up.
Found here. Short version: everybody hates Bill De Blasio when it comes to charter schools. Except unions. Go figure.
My Watchdog.org piece on the Purple Line is up.
Link here. Short version: the thing about the DC Metro Purple Line… well, it’s a regional Maryland thing. You actually would understand, but you might not care anyway. I kind of want it myself, but I recognize that there are some pretty good fiscal arguments against it.
My Watchdog.org piece on Texas charter schools is up.
Found here. Short version: they like the idea, over in Texas. Which may make a difference in 2016.
My Watchdog.org post on Maryland SNAP oversight is up.
Link here. Short version: it’s not very oversight-y. Yes, I know, shocking.
My Watchdog.org Earth Day post is up.
You can find it here. Short version: clean up the Earth? These people can’t even pick up after themselves.
My Watchdog.org post on TPP/TPA is up.
Found here. Short version: fast-track on trade treaties proceeds apace. Whether the hard-Left half of the Democratic party likes it, or not.
