Baltimore, MD - Feb. 5, 2026 - The Maryland state flag – a symbol of pride, identity, and fierce loyalty for many residents – has become the subject of renewed political scrutiny in Annapolis after Gov. Wes Moore described it as a “contradiction” and his administration declined to say whether those remarks signal support for legislative change.
The comments, made during a podcast appearance last week, prompted questions from lawmakers in both parties and exposed uncertainty among state leaders about whether Maryland’s iconic flag – unchanged for more than a century – could once again become a political flashpoint.
State archives show the Maryland General Assembly formally adopted the flag on March 9, 1904, making the red, white, black, ...

Baltimore, MD - Feb. 3, 2026 - After a week of refreezing conditions, Maryland's Department of Transportation is calling on residents and businesses to help clear ice and snow from walkways as part of a shared community responsibility.
The persistent ice has proven challenging for residents like Donna, a former snow-fighter for the city, who understands the difficulties people face navigating these conditions.
"It takes a lot of patience, it takes a lot of salt, takes a lot of man-hours and a lot of willpower," Donna said.
She emphasized the importance of community cooperation during these harsh conditions.
"I feel for everybody. Continue to do what we need to do to clean up these streets ourselves. Me as an individual, I'll do my part," Donna said.

Baltimore, MD - Feb. 3, 2026 - Another ground stop was put in place Tuesday at Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport.
A BWI-Marshall spokesman told WBAL-TV 11 News that a short-term airfield closure was planned for Tuesday afternoon that was coordinated with the Federal Aviation Administration.
This comes a day after the FAA issued a ground stop at Baltimore's airport after airport personnel identified a localized pavement failure at the intersection of the airport's two primary runways. The runways were temporarily closed Monday night to safely complete repairs.
SKY 11 video showed flights were grounded, and Capt. Roy Taylor said several incoming flights had been diverted to other airports.
On Tuesday, the airport spokesman said an inspection...

Baltimore, MD - Feb. 3, 2026 - More back-and-forth between Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott and City State's Attorney Ivan Bates, the latest development over the termination of a key crime-fighting partnership.
Mayor Scott's office released a legal opinion Monday by former Assistant State's Attorney Tara Barnes, stating that Bates' decision to end the partnership with the Mayor's Office of Neighborhood Safety and Engagement (MONSE) after concerns over information sharing is "neither legally required nor factually justified."
In response, Bates remarked, "Sounds like I will see the mayor in court," although his office later clarified there are no plans to sue, but that "the assumption is" the matter will likely end up playing out in court.
