Maybe Mr. Hogan thinks that if a bogus rain tax argument could win him an election two years ago, then a bogus road kill campaign could win him re-election (not that he seems to need the help). But such a strategy presumes Maryland voters are a pretty gullible bunch. Donald Trump may have gotten far on a wave of "fake news" over facts, but we'd like to think Mr. Hogan aspires to better. The legislation's own author notes that all that is really at stake is "just a score." In other words, the law is closer to being a nothing-burger than a sign of the apocalypse, and average Marylanders are bound to get wise.
