Stuart FitzGibbons, manager of the Domino Sugar Refinery with the signature sign on its plant in Baltimore’s Inner Harbor, told the Blue Ribbon Commission on Transportation Funding on Monday that he constantly worries about transportation.

If elected again as Maryland’s governor, Bob Ehrlich would eliminate traditional pensions for new state employees and give them defined contribution plans like the 401(k)s that dominate the corporate world.
That’s one teensy bit of news – as in something you’ve never heard before – that came out of the second televised debate between the Republican ex-governor and incumbent Democrat Martin O’Malley.
A legislative task force is seeking to make it easier for Maryland nonprofits to contract with the state, as well as save money for the state and for the health and social service providers it hires.
