Maryland Subway Fight Ends But Deal Remains Fragile
After an eight day filibuster the Maryland Senate reached a fragile compromise on the Baltimore rapid transit plan. The deal hinges on three new bills needing two thirds House approval, with House Speaker Briscoe uncertain he can secure 94 votes. The accord preserves 721 million in federal funds but shifts state matching funds to a separate bond bill. A joint committee will review future rapid transit plans and may veto them if needed. Some opponents warned they may challenge the package on the Senate floor even if the bills pass.

They warn a gasoline tax to pay for transportation systems is likely next year or the year after, as road construction suffers from rising costs and dwindling fuel revenues. They report heavy local opposition to blocking the subway bill.
