    2018 Monoblogue Accountability Project

    2018 monoblogue Accountability Project A voting summary for the Maryland General Assembly ©2018 Michael Swartz. Reprint permission is granted with credit to “Michael Swartz at monoblogue” (with link) Introduction I began the monoblogue Accountability Project in 2008 as the successor to an earlier effort called the Maryland Accountability Project. It graded all 188 members of the General Assembly on whether they voted in what the author considered a conservative manner or not. Since the creator of the project moved on to other things I took up the baton, with my first year’s work incorporating three sessions: the 2007 Regular Session, the 2007 Special Session, and the 2008 Regular Session. I continued the project for the entire 2007-10 electoral term and began anew with the 2011 session. Now I finish my work with this year, the end of my third term for the mAP. With the primary coming up June 26, I thought it important to get this edition out as early as possible. Unfortunately, in looking at the races as they are shaping up, there are sadly too few good opportunities to eliminate the deadwood of the General Assembly as well as those so-called “progressive” members who are, in truth, blocking our progress in returning to the status of the “Free State.” It is for this main reason you are far more than likely looking at the last Maryland edition of the monoblogue Accountability Project – Delaware is a more appealing state, so that's where we plan on relocating. I'll still be working in Maryland but, unless I see a compelling reason to continue I think it's time I shifted focus to the other side of the Transpeninsular Line.
