Maryland makes Top 10 in US News Best States list

May 14th, 2019 by WCBC Radio

The folks at U.S. News & World Report have for years ranked states in categories such as health care, safety and more; for the third year, they’ve combined factors to pick the best states overall — and  Maryland came out near the top. Maryland moved up seven spots to No. 6 in the survey that  was compiled through a combination of public and private data in a variety of categories, weighted based on surveys conducted by U.S. News on what people felt were the most important issues. The categories included health care, which comprised access, quality and public health; education; the economy; infrastructure, which included energy, internet access and transportation; opportunity, which comprised affordability, economic opportunity and equality; fiscal stability; crime, and the natural environment.

      First I’ve heard of that. Imagine, one man receiving both the Pulitzer Peace Prize and a PULITIZER. Some people are just blessed.
