Maryland wrapped up its 2022 legislative session this year with a bundle of legislative accomplishments, which included banning untraceable “ghost” guns, expanding rights to abortion access and establishing a statewide paid family and medical leave program. While these changes will likely have a positive impact on the state, they are unlikely to bring about transformational change. As the 2023 session approaches, and Democrats are favored to take back the governorship, it is time for our elected leaders to think of big solutions that will address our state’s biggest problems.
