In his 7th State of the State address last night, Governor Larry Hogan urged all Marylanders to get the coronavirus vaccine, when available, but cautioned that it is going to be a long and difficult journey to get everyone vaccinated. Hogan called the vaccines “the best hope for bringing this pandemic to an end.” He also urged the legislature to pass his proposed RELIEF Act, a coronavirus recovery package. The Governor added that the FY 2022 budget was balanced with no tax increases, no cuts, no layoffs and no reduction in state services.
