Senate dramatically changes governor’s bill to hold judges accountable

A judicial bill intended to hold Maryland judges accountable is making its way through the General Assembly, but it’s not exactly what Gov. Larry Hogan had hoped for. The Maryland General Assembly isn’t immune to growing concerns about violent crime and what to do about it. The problem is recognizing the source of the crime and passing legislation that will make a difference. Hogan said his Judicial Transparency Act would address concerns about the sentencing of violent criminals.
