Maryland Doesn't Want To Be "Southern"?

What?

Many of Maryland’s leaders feel that the state is leaning toward the north in terms of their political mindset.

In fact, the state moved from the Southern Region of the Council of State Governments to the Eastern Region to trade ideas with state officials from Pennsylvania, New York, etc.

“I just don’t think we’re as Southern as people used to think,” says state Senator Catherine Pugh. Other residents disagree saying that due to the capitol of Annapolis having a small town feel, they essentially feel more southern.

Maryland readers, what do U think?
