"Port Covington is a revitalization of Baltimore City," said J.B. Jennings, the Senate minority leader. "Unfortunately, with the formulas, it's going to put Baltimore City in a $300 million deficit. Let's go back and let's look at these formulas. I would hate to see this project being held up because of the fear of its impact on local schools. If the president and the speaker are willing to do this, I just hope the legislation would take a similar stance toward the other counties, too, if they have a project of this magnitude."
