The vote will now include the state treasurer, who has “serious questions” about the plan.
By Katherine Shaver Katherine Shaver Reporter covering urban planning and transportation issues Email Bio Follow May 3 at 11:36 AM Maryland Governor Larry Hogan has delayed a vote scheduled for next week to solicit public-private partnerships for his plan to add toll lanes to the Capital Beltway and Interstate 270 until the state’s treasurer, who has said she has “serious questions” about the proposal, is in town to vote, a spokesman said Friday.
Critics, including environmental groups and lawmakers from Montgomery and Prince George’s counties, said the Board of Public Works shouldn’t vote on such a massive highway project when one of the board’s three members would be absent.Hogan spokesman Michael Ricci said the governor’s office made the decision after consulting with the comptroller’s office. Franchot is the third member of the Board of Public Works, in addition to the governor and treasurer.
The board must designate the project as a public-private partnership before the Maryland Department of Transportation can begin pursuing proposals from companies. Only two members are required to hold a vote, and only two votes are required to pass an agenda item.Kopp said Wednesday that she had told her fellow board members in November that she would be in Japan in early May to celebrate her 50th wedding anniversary.
