Maryland became the first state in the nation to agree to reimburse Planned Parenthood clinics for their services if Congress defunds the organization after Republican Gov. unfortunately without the support of the governor,” said Sen. Richard S. Madaleno Jr. (D-Montgomery), who sponsored the bill to fund Planned Parenthood. Democrats in the Maryland General Assembly overturned the governor’s veto after a long debate over how to identify and fix the state’s failing schools. Hogan had labeled the bill “misguided” and “irresponsible,” a measure that would have a “disastrous effect” on the state’s education system. Hogan this year proposed competing legislation that would require Maryland alone to establish a nonpartisan redistricting commission.
