Apparently a year of preparation is not enough to prepare for potential changes coming with the incoming Trump administration.
Maryland this month awarded a $190,000 contract to Accenture Services to help the state “research the president-elect’s party platform and campaign policy proposals … to understand the potential impact of changes to federal policies, funding, and programs on the Moore administration’s priorities.”
The contract was finalized Nov. 7, two days after the election — and one day before Gov. Wes Moore opened a post-election meeting by assuring Marylanders that his administration had been preparing since February “to begin scenario-planning for possible outcomes of the 2024 presidential election.”
“Our goal has been to secure Maryland’s transition under a new federal administration – in the event of any outcome,” Moore said then. “We have worked tirelessly for months, analyzing how Donald Trump’s plans might impact Maryland. … We have run and pressure-tested countless scenarios based on policy changes that might happen in Washington.”
