[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] As the title says, I feel like having mark or metro service out to Annapolis would be great and allow people living in that area and on the Eastern shore to easily commute into DC[/quote]

Yes, it would be great, but the previous governor was only interested in building highways, and federal transportation funding was very, very heavily biased towards highways. Maybe the new governor will get the process started, using the new federal transportation bill, which is somewhat less biased towards highways.[/quote]

Are you referring to Governor Hogan? The governor who got the Purple Line back on track, and ensured a dedicated state funding stream for Metro for the first time in Metro's history?[/quote]

No, the governor who killed the Baltimore Red Line and redistributed the money to rural highway projects, in addition to almost derailing the Purple Line, then making sure it cost $1.4 billion more than it should have and was delayed by an additional four and a half years.
