Maryland governor Larry Hogan approved plans to build the Purple Line, a $168 million train line that spans 16 miles from Bethesda to New Carrollton.
He also announced the killing of a project for the Red Line, which would connect east and west Baltimore and cost over $2 billion.
Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake wasn’t very happy when she heard about Hogan’s plans to discontinue the Red Line project.

So it begins.
New Republican governor is cutting and diverting funds for Baltimore City any chance he gets. First education, now transportation.
Not sure how I feel about this. Balt City disproportionately received State and Federal aid to stay afloat and I think they have taken all those life lines for granted and squandered it with corruption and incompetence.
But is Gov Hogan just going to let all of Baltimore City go down the drain? Seems like it.
His tense relationship with mayor SRB is not good. It is only going to gt worse bc SRB keeps making negative public comments about him.
News flash Stephanie - like everyone else with a boss - shit rolls down hill. Learn to work with the guy's staff, find one or two sympathetic ears and learn to polish up your open criticisms or dont make them public in the first place.
