AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoState Government: Gov. Wes Moore announced three Cabinet departures, with interim leaders taking over the State Department, public safety and corrections, and veterans affairs. His administration says energy assistance reached nearly 150,000 households in fiscal 2026, a record. A fiscal watchdog disputes Moore’s claim that Maryland’s budget is balanced, estimating a $21.5 billion accumulated shortfall; the administration’s position was not included in the report. Local Decisions: Howard County Executive Calvin Ball vetoed bills tightening oversight of some nonprofit grants and adding rules for solar projects on farmland, citing concerns about state law and investment. Prince George’s planners gave preliminary approval to the proposed Sphere at National Harbor, a 300-foot entertainment venue. Election Fallout: Moore won a second term, Democrats expanded their power in Maryland, and voters approved Question 3, giving lawmakers more flexibility to redraw congressional districts. Baltimore voters also approved a program directing about $17 million a year to families with newborns. Transportation: Maryland secured final federal environmental approval for a replacement Chesapeake Bay crossing, with construction potentially starting in 2032.
