Mayor Bans City-Sponsored Travel To NC, MS

Baltimore mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake suspended all city-sponsored travel to North Carolina and Mississippi, she announced Tuesday.

The announcement was made regarding North Carolina’s and Mississippi’s stance on transgender bathroom policies.

In a statement to cabinet members, Rawlings-Blake said, “I will not authorize any city-sponsored travel to those states while the current discriminatory situation exists.”

The mayor said cabinet members should not bring travel requests to the two states “until the situation changes.”
