All infrastructure is local, as Speaker Tip O’Neill might say.

What impact will the Biden infrastructure law have on Baltimore City and the neighborhoods I represent?

I started emailing our professional staff in Annapolis on Saturday morning.

The Red Line could be reconsidered under specific language in the new law..  What steps does the General Assembly need to take to help bring that about?  I was already drafting a bill before this weekend.

Infrastructure improvements are needed for the new housing awarded in the Park Heights community, several blocks south of Pimlico Race Track.  Is the new bill a source of funds, or is the more likely source the Build Back Better legislation, next on the Congressional agenda?

Aging water pipes are a source of lead poisoning.  There’s money in the bill to replace these pipes.  What’s the best way to get this done in Baltimore?

Money is allocated for specific projects.  In Washington, there are called earmarks.  In Annapolis, we call them worthy legislative initiatives.  Is the Ambassador Theatre in Howard Park funded?

The bill has passed the Congress.  Now the work begins at home.
