and a mayor, don't know where, said she/they WILL welcome refugees. Will look for where.

HERE, Baltimore!

'Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake — who has identified increased immigration as one of the keys to growing Baltimore's population — directly contradicted the governor's call. "I hope that refugees from Syria will look to our city as a potential place to call home," she said.

Meanwhile, Hogan was also taking flak from his right flank.

Del. Patrick L. McDonough, a Baltimore County Republican, decried Hogan's statement as too weak.

"The governor is leaving the door open on these refugees," he said. "My position is zero tolerance – not to permit them to come in under any circumstances."'

She's doing the right thing. It is time to turn up the heat on Hogan, especially if his position leaves some room for accepting refugees in the future.
