The following bills are being heard TOMORROW, Thursday February 15, 2018 in the House Environment & Transportation Committee. Please contact the committee members listed below and tell them that we support the Maglev project and the 74,000 jobs it will bring for our members and our community.
According to Jeff Guido of the Baltimore DC Building Trades, these “bills are intended to slow down and impede and create obstacles for the project to the point it becomes impossible to proceed through the red tape.”
