Today's Sun also reports, in "Ehrlich transit budget decried," about the road and highway dominant transportation agenda of the Republican Ehrlich administration in Maryland. From the article:

Baltimore's transportation chief criticized the Ehrlich administration's spending plans yesterday, saying that a recent six-year capital budget proposal shows a lack of commitment to mass transit in the region....Foxx zeroed in on the spending totals proposed for the Maryland Transit Administration in the "out years" - three or more years in the future - in the state's draft six-year capital transportation plan for 2006-2011. According to the Department of Legislative Services, the draft reduces capital spending for "transit system preservation" by $69 million compared with last year's version of the plan.
