The rally last year was a success insofar as over 100 people showed up to fight for better transit in Baltimore, so I have no reason to believe this year won't be at least twice as successful! Please, if you're in the area, consider attending. Free transportation to and from the rally.

We’d describe it differently. Once the legislature approves final capital programs it’s best to ignore the drafts that preceded them. The last four years Maryland approved the four largest CTP’s in history. The draft CTP proposed this week would be even bigger. www.baltimoresun.com/2025/09/02/m...
