Blue state residents 'fleeing in droves' after ‘insane’ progressive takeover, says top state attorney

Only a matter of time before more people leave DemocRAT run cities and states because of  the governing -- In an interview with Fox News Digital, Haven Shoemaker, state attorney for Maryland’s Carroll County, said that after decades in public service, he is "sick to death" of the policies that "emanate" from the state capital in Annapolis. He said he is especially disgusted with Maryland’s "sanctuary" policies and the high taxes he said are being levied in part to pay for more services for illegal immigrants.  --- "Maryland has become California on the Chesapeake," said Shoemaker. "It only gets worse. It's not getting better. And at some point, I just had to make a personal decision that it's time to throw in the towel and head for what I believe are greener pastures." --- "The State of Maryland has one of the worst outward migration numbers of any state in the country right now," he said. "So, I don't know who’s going to be the last to foot the bill for the profligate spending that Annapolis likes to engage in, but it's not going to be me, I can tell you that." --- Earlier this year, the Maryland General Assembly passed an emergency measure to ban local and state law enforcement agencies from cooperating with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) through what is known as the 287(g) program. Maryland Democratic Gov. Wes Moore, whose name has been floated as a possible 2028 Democratic presidential candidate, signed the bill into law.  ---- Shoemaker, meanwhile, said that Maryland’s sanctuary-style policies are "just part of the problem." "In addition to that, their tax policy here is horrendous," he said. He pointed to how state leaders raised taxes in Maryland last year by $1.6 billion.   --- https://www.foxnews.com/politics/blue-state-residents-fleeing-droves-insane-progressive-takeover-says-top-state-attorney

Gee, how am I affected by one person leaving a state on the other side of the country? How are you? Why are you bitching and whining and crying and moaning?

  How can you be so obtuse?  Apparently all you want to do is argue. The reality is that the corrupt DemocRAT party is destroying America and American values - which apparently escapes your brainwashed liberal mind. Time for you and all comatose liberals to wake up and vote out every DemocRAT.

All I want to do is argue? Every post you make, you do so for the sole purpose of starting an argument.

 

Oh, yeah, I know, you just have an insatiable urge to post "the factual truth."

 

The nonsensical babble you post is very often just one person's opinion, which means very little, regardless of what that opinion is. You don't seem to get that. Odd.

   The truth is the truth - no matter the source. Now, argue about that.

Nothing is ever the truth just because someone calls it that.
