Democrats in Maryland’s General Assembly say they will vote on a $20 million grant for Northrop Grumman Corp. provided Republican Gov. Larry Hogan testifies on why we wants it, according to reports.
Hogan quickly declined the offer Tuesday, with a spokesman telling The Washington Post the governor has “no interest in attending a meeting to discuss an issue that was unanimously approved by both the Senate and the House six months ago.”
The latest conflict casts the grant for the Falls Church-based aerospace giant, which employees thousands in Maryland, into even greater jeopardy.
In April, the Maryland legislature approved the grant and $37.5 million in tax credits for Northrop laid out by Hogan’s administration. However, the Legislative Policy Committee has yet to sign off on the agreement.
