Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is right, and the most recent MD Comptroller's Housing Report confirmed that high taxes, expensive energy bills, and the soaring cost of living are forcing Marylanders to leave. 2.3 million Marylanders have already moved to more affordable states. But like most reports from Annapolis, it...

According to a new report, Marylanders now pay the highest electric bills in the nation. This is the result of Maryland Democrats shutting down in-state energy for their green agenda, and piling on taxes that get passed down to ratepayers. They're pricing us out of our state:

This is one of the worst bills for working families our country has ever seen. President Trump’s plan would slash Medicaid and SNAP, jeopardizing health care access for 196,000 Marylanders and threatening food assistance for more than 684,000 Marylanders. It would make energy bills more expensive, raise health care costs, and directly hurt Maryland families, from the western mountains to the Eastern Shore and everywhere in between. No state in the country could overcome the consequences if it were to become law.

Good morning to everyone in Massachusetts who know why we have sky-high costs. Massachusetts is now one of the most expensive states in the country to live in. Housing is out of reach, energy bills keep climbing, groceries cost more every month, and taxes never seem to go down. This didn’t happen by accident. It’s the result of decades of one-party Democrat control on Beacon Hill. Look around the country. The highest cost-of-living states are almost all Democrat-run. Meanwhile, many of the most affordable states are run by Republicans. That’s not coincidence. It’s policy. Democrats love to talk about affordability, but their policies make nothing more affordable. More regulation, higher taxes, higher energy costs, and endless spending drive businesses and families out of Massachusetts every year. Even wages tell the story. Working people felt relief when Republicans pushed for economic growth and fiscal restraint. When Democrats regain full control, spending explodes and real wages fall behind the cost of living. There is a clear pattern. One-party rule makes Massachusetts more expensive and less livable. Common-sense conservative leadership would lower costs, keep businesses here, and make this state affordable again for families who just want a fair shot. Massachusetts doesn’t need excuses. It needs change.

Burgum blames high national gas price average on renewable energy: I have to smile every time I see on a screen the national average for gasoline. The price of gasoline varies across our whole country largely right now by state policy and state taxes, not by the underlying fundamentals. About half the states that went down this path where they overrotated towards we're going to have energy transition. We're going to move from affordable, reliable secure American energy and we're going to rely on intermittent, highly subsidized, weather-dependent sources of energy, they've got substantially higher energy prices than the states that don't. California was dependent on oil coming from the strait of hormuz. They are going to have high gas prices. You can thank Gavin Newsom for that and their state legislature for the policies they put in. That has nothing to do with the strait of hormuz.

Your electricity bills are way too high, and Donald Trump is paying nearly a BILLION dollars of YOUR money to a foreign company to keep them that way. Yes, you heard that right. The President of the United States is literally spending your tax dollars to make your energy bills more expensive. He lost in court FIVE times trying to kill two wind projects that would have powered over a million homes. Wind and solar are now the cheapest forms of energy on the planet. It is pure math. If you want lower electric bills, clean energy is how you do it. Americans need affordable, homegrown energy that isn’t subject to the volatility of global oil markets. Trump is doing everything in his power, and spending nearly a billion of your dollars, to make sure you don’t get it.

Kaitlan Collins: “[Regarding cost of living] on the state level, the Maryland State Comptroller's report that came out, found that almost a third of people who have left your state since 2010, in the last 15 years, they moved to Florida. Do you believe that Florida is doing something better than Maryland is?” Maryland Gov. Wes Moore: “No, no, because I think the things that we know that have been long-standing challenges within the State of Maryland, that one of the primary challenges has, for example, been things like the cost of housing, where 37 percent of young Marylanders said they would consider leaving the State of Maryland for one reason, housing costs.”

Development charges increase the cost of homes for everyone. They are a housing tax. During a housing crisis, we don’t think you should raise taxes on housing. That’s why provinces and cities must freeze the fees in order to get federal infrastructure funding. Conservatives have no plan to address these taxes. RT if you agree that cities should freeze this tax on housing.

On Monday, Ryan Wilson and I toured the state to share some of the policies I'll work to deliver as governor that will help make living and working in Minnesota more affordable: -- Cut income taxes. -- No tax on tips, no tax on overtime. -- Eliminate social security tax for all seniors. -- Undo Democrat hikes on car tab fees. -- Eliminate the projected $1 billion property tax increase across Minnesota by streamlining/centralizing existing welfare mandates on counties. -- Reform home building regulations to bring down the cost of new homes closer in line with that of our border states. -- Lifting nuclear energy moratorium and other ways to bring down our energy costs.

Governor, you’re absolutely right, affordability is no hoax. It’s a harsh reality hitting Maryland families who are already struggling under your big-government policies. Let’s not forget, you inherited a $5.5 billion surplus from Governor Hogan. Yet just nine months ago, you pushed through the largest tax increase in state history, slapping hardworking families with $1.6 billion in new taxes and fees. That is $2 billion in tax and fee increases in the last two years. And then there’s your green energy mandates, which have saddled Maryland with the highest energy bills in the nation, all to pursue extreme climate policies that are not grounded in reality and ignore the everyday costs families are facing. Now, let’s address housing. You keep dodging the real reasons behind skyrocketing prices and demand. Right now, an estimated 60,000 recent non-citizens are on our Medicaid rolls, while hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants call Maryland home. Maryland schools are now funneling over half a billion dollars into funding for Limited English Proficient students. International migration, both legal and illegal, isn’t just a footnote; it’s driving up demand in a strained housing market, further pushing prices higher. Marylanders want a fair system, fiscal responsibility, and policies that prioritize their needs. They’re tired of watching their friends and family move, while their own financial stability is strained. Maryland doesn't need to be a state in constant decline, that is by choice. Vote smart this year.

A major gas field in the UK could supply over 10% of the UK's energy, but that gas isn't destined for the grid. The plan instead is to extract it on site, burn it in a local power plant, and use that electricity to mine bitcoin. The energy will be consumed at the source, because that route is simpler and more profitable. Taxes, regulation and grid constraints all add friction. The gas could power homes. It isn't. Because burning it on site makes more money. That is a damning indictment of UK energy policy.

Housing is a human right. No one in this city should have to worry about losing their home or end up on the streets due to systemic issues. Homelessness and the housing crisis are not two different problems, they are two sides of the same coin. And they have the same solution – permanent affordable housing. Trickle down economics is a fallacy. The market cannot provide affordable housing. Prices are only going up, driving people into homelessness, or out of the city entirely. Rae will build social housing on public lands and speed up housing production citywide, cutting red tape while keeping in place tenant and homeowner protections to ensure that people are able to keep their homes. Rae will streamline the city’s housing strategy, creating a Mayor’s Office of Housing For All to consolidate these different departments under one roof, with a public dashboard to track progress and hold us accountable.

Amazing how Byron Sigcho Lopez can lie and tell the truth in the same breath. Here, he says CPS' declining enrollment is due to lack of affordable housing. He then states property taxes are too high. BSL is lying about lower CPS enrollment. It's low because families are leaving Chicago over high taxes, crime, and terrible schools, not affordable housing. BSL is telling the truth about high property taxes; they are too high. But what does he do about high taxes? Nothing.
