HOGAN ANNOUNCES RELIEF FUNDS, NO NEW RESTRICTIONS: More economic relief is on the way for Maryland’s small businesses, with Gov. Larry Hogan announcing the forgiveness of $75 million in emergency loans from the spring and new investments in housing and other areas, Bryan Renbaum writes for Maryland Reporter. But with new restrictions coming from counties, the fear is many businesses are at a “point of no return.”
Hogan ordered no new statewide restrictions on business or social activities, Jeff Barker and Christine Condon report for the Sun. Hogan’s comments Thursday highlighted a widening gap between the approaches taken by the Republican governor and some of the state’s largest, Democrat-led jurisdictions as COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations continue to rise.
