Baltimore, MD - Jan. 14, 2026 - Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown announced a revised settlement with Capital One, requiring the bank to pay $425 million in restitution and offer better interest rates to 360 Savings customers who were previously denied higher interest payments.
The new agreement, which more than doubles the value of an earlier proposed settlement, was reached after Brown joined a bipartisan coalition of attorneys general opposing the initial deal.
"For years, Capital One shortchanged Maryland consumers while steering new customers to much higher rates," Brown said. “In opposing the previous, unfair settlement, we pushed for a better agreement that returns millions more to Marylanders’ pockets.”
The settlement, approved by the court, mandates Capi...

Baltimore, MD - Jan. 13, 2026 - After a long period of closed waitlisting, the Baltimore City Housing Authority will once again be accepting applications for Section 8 housing. The Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program's 2026 Project-Based Voucher (PBV), commonly known as “Section 8 Housing,” will open for applications from 9:00 AM on January 14, 2026, through 11:59 PM on January 23, 2026.

Annapolis. MD - Jan. 13, 2026 - According to a recent Gonzales Poll, "there is a growing sense of civic exhaustion among Americans."
Released on Tuesday, the poll highlights a shift from "deliberation to a competition for attention."
The results of the poll show this has led to a quiet fatigue, with many feeling that the essence of democracy is being overshadowed by "theatrical displays."
In Maryland, the poll shows that 52% of voters approve of Gov. Wes Moore's performance, while 41% disapprove and 7% remain undecided. This marks a significant decline from his previous approval rating of 64%, with disapproval rising from 25% to 41%. The narrowing gap indicates a tightening political landscape for Moore.
The poll also reveals a divided sentiment among Marylanders regarding the sta...
