Maryland Governor Wes Moore has announced plans to engage with members of Congress to seek support for the reconstruction of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, which has obstructed the main shipping channel at Baltimore's port for almost two weeks. Governor Moore emphasized the non-partisan nature of the issue, highlighting the importance of backing a vital economic hub that employs tens of thousands of individuals.
As the legislative session in Maryland drew to a close, a bill permitting the utilization of the state's rainy day fund to aid port workers was passed and is awaiting the governor's signature. The emergency legislation is set to be signed into effect promptly.
