Above The Rabbit Hole EP: 069 - State Government Inefficiency - With Ed Hale

Mickey and Matt dig into one of the most frustrating and costly problems facing Americans today: state government inefficiency. From bloated bureaucracies to misaligned incentives, the issues we see in Maryland are mirrored in statehouses across the country. To unpack how we got here—and what it would actually take to fix it—we’re joined by Ed Hale: businessman, sports franchise owner, developer, and now candidate for Governor of Maryland. Ed shares how decades in the private sector have given him a front-row seat to the way government red tape strangles growth, kills innovation, and wastes taxpayer dollars.  Ed Hale's Website: https://haleforgov.com/ Follow Ed Hale on X: @haleforgov2026 Above The Rabbit Hole is brought to you by Feel Great (Unicity.)
