And I think they would regret that if they did.”Nick Cavey, director of the General Services Department’s Office of Public Information, issued a statement saying that measures taken to boost safety include the presence of “additional police officers and support security personnel,” as well as modified ID procedures to enter buildings that are part of the State House complex.Maryland Capitol Police are part of that department.Access to state legislative buildings was already restricted to lawmakers, their staffs and the media as part of a plan to reduce the risk of coronavirus during the 90-day legislative session.Asked if he had any concerns about his personal safety, Hogan said, “I’m not concerned, although we do have hundreds of death threats.” Threats on social media, he said, had ramped up considerably recently.“We’re going to keep doing our job, and trying to keep everybody else safe,” Hogan said.|||||||||||This article was written by WTOP’s news partners at&nbsp;&nbsp;and republished with permission.&nbsp;Sign up for today.Log in to your WTOP account for notifications and alerts customized for you.
