Hogan likens legislators to kids on 'spring break,' drawing rebuke in Senate
Widening an already deep break with the General Assembly, Gov. Larry Hogan compared lawmakers Thursday to students on spring break, drawing a sharp rebuke from a leading Senate Democrat and mixed reviews from members of his own party.
"It's like they're on spring break," Hogan said on the C4 Show on WBAL-AM Radio. "They come here for a few weeks. They start breaking up the furniture and throwing beer bottles off the balcony."
Hogan's remarks came after a discussion of moves that Democratic legislators are proposing to trim gubernatorial powers or oppose his policies.
The governor said the way legislators have been conducting business is "crazy," complaining that they are trying to stop him from doing anything despite his broad popularity, as reflected in recent polls. He said he's not sure how any of them can be re-elected by doing that.
