Multiple Administration officials confirm Hogan’s involvement in development deal
Marylanders deserve answers following bombshell reporting by TIME that as governor, Hogan personally approved spending more than $16 million in competitive state funds to develop his own family’s property.
Today’s report came roughly one week after TIME broke that Hogan voted five times as a member of the Board of Public Works to award taxpayer dollars to his real estate firm’s listed clients. The developer working on Hogan’s family property was among those clients.
Here are questions Larry Hogan must answer:
- Why didn’t the Governor recuse himself from voting to spend millions of taxpayer dollars to develop his own family’s property?
- When did the Governor and his team learn that the Board of Public Works was voting to send taxpayer dollars to develop his own family’s property?
- Why didn’t the Governor recuse himself from votes that involved clients that had a financial relationship with his company?
- Will Hogan recuse himself from any votes and funding requests in the Senate that would be conflicts of interest?
- Where did the income Hogan generated outside his government salary come from? Did it come from clients receiving competitive state housing awards and/or the sale of his family property?
- Did Hogan break his pledge that he would abide by state law, which prohibits him from participating in any government matter in which he, his family, or his real estate firm had a specific interest?
