Sen. Ferguson and his allies were happy to put their names on a bill that would incentivize greenfield buildout of manufacturing facilities in exurban Howard County. However, they now refuse to support a bill that would promote brownfield redevelopment in the very city whose interests they are supposed to represent. What's more, in doing so they are undermining the governor's efforts to accomplish the same economic development agenda they proposed with the backing of Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, the Greater Baltimore Committee, Tradepoint Atlantic (Sparrows Point), the Baltimore Washington Corridor Committee, the Maryland Association of Counties, the Maryland Chamber of Commerce, the Manufacturer's Alliance of Maryland, the Maryland State and Washington D.C. AFL-CIO and many others. This is what's insane.
