EXCERPT: More and more people are moving to Maryland despite repeated claims by political commentators that folks are leaving. According to the U.S. Census, the states population increased by some 155,000 people between 2010 and 2013. More people are moving to D.C. too, which whether you like it or not affects us as well. The question should be how can we get more people off the roads? not how can we fit more people onto them. Theres only so much you can reasonably do to widen highways, and theres only so many new highways you can build. With more and more people coming to Maryland, mass transportation needs to help carry the load. If Governor-elect Hogan axes the rail projects because he wants to build roads instead, he will be continuing Marylands tradition of getting it completely wrong on transportation issues.
