Hogan was upbeat about his chances in the upcoming election, citing a recent poll showing he and Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown are in a statistical tie in the race... Hogan said his message is resonating with people from all parts of the political spectrum... Watermen have been trying to bear the brunt, they’ve been mistreated ... farmers have made tremendous efforts, he said. They’ve gone above and beyond. Phosphorus management regulations, he said, would basically decimate an entire way of life on the Shore and could’ve crippled the entire poultry and grain industry and crushed the economy of the Eastern Shore, while they’re doing nothing about this problem up north coming down the Susquehanna (at the Conowingo). Watermen and farmers need a seat at the table, he said, but have been treated in a hostile manner in what he called, quoting former Sen. E.J. Pipkin, a war on rural Maryland.
