On Friday, the governor penned an op-ed in The Sun saying his administration was ready to make significant changes to Baltimore, including state funding for knocking down blocks of vacant houses and a transportation plan that includes “dedicated corridors to rapidly move people East-West and North-South.” Though we're a bit baffled how Baltimore's “mish-mash of disconnected rail lines and nonsensical bus routes” is “critical” now but somehow wasn't when the Red Line funding was on the table, we're willing to hear Hög out on these plans. Details are still needed, but the governor is taking an important first step in acknowledging these issues (Alex Fine)
