Time Magazine Expose on Larry Hogan May Be More Than ‘Flash in the Pan,’ Expert Says

October 14, 2024

Six of Larry Hogan’s listed clients won ~40% of housing awards over eight years, beating out 60+ other companies 

The fallout continues for Republican Larry Hogan following a bombshell report that nearly 40% of competitive housing awards he approved as governor went to his real estate firm’s listed clients. WTOP reports that Hogan’s conflicts of interest could be “more than a flash in the pan,” echoing reporting from the Washington Post this weekend that Maryland Speaker of the House Adrienne A. Jones, Chairman Marc Korman, and others are working on new legislation to tighten ethics rules for future Maryland governors.

WTOP: Time Magazine Exposé on Larry Hogan May Be More Than ‘Flash in the Pan,’ Expert Says

  • There could be further developments related to a revealing story published by Time Magazine, claiming that decisions made by former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan while he was in office improperly benefited clients of his Annapolis real estate brokerage firm.

  • “Over Hogan’s eight years in office, nearly 40% of the competitive affordable housing awards overseen by the governor went to developers listed as clients,” TIME reported.

  • The article detailed how Hogan, while serving as Maryland’s governor, voted five times as a member of the State Board of Public Works — an administrative body that determines how taxpayer money gets spent — to issue loans or grants to developers who were listed as clients of his real estate brokerage firm.

  • “I’ve already seen on social media and other news reports that members of the House of Delegates and other folks in the state are following up on this,” Anson said. “That, to me, signals that this might not be a flash in the pan.”

  • The race is getting national attention because it is unusually competitive this year in a deeply blue state where its outcome could determine whether Democrats or Republicans get control of the Senate.
