public safety Dozens of Bridges Nationwide at Risk of Catastrophic Collapse, Officials Warn 2025-03-23 Federal officials investigating the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore warned that 68 bridges nationwide could be at similar risk of catastrophic collapse. The National Transportation Safety Board found that the Maryland Transit Authority had never done a risk assessment of the Key bridge, and that its risk of disaster was 30 times above established guidance. The NTSB will issue an urgent recommendation to bridge authorities to conduct assessments, as many older bridges have not been held to the same standard as new bridges. crime Former College Park Mayor Disbarred After Child Pornography Conviction 2025-03-22 Patrick W., the former mayor of College Park, has agreed to be disbarred in Maryland after pleading guilty to 140 counts of possession and distribution of child pornography. He was sentenced to 30 years in prison and 5 years of probation. Prosecutors reported that investigators identified 52 children who were depicted in the child sexual abuse material, with hundreds or thousands more that could not be identified. W. acknowledged that he contributed to the victimization of children and apologized for his actions. crime Opposing 'Second Look' Laws for Convicted Murderers in Maryland 2025-03-22 As an experienced attorney, prosecutor and advocate for crime victims, the author argues against the proposed 'Second Look Act' law in Maryland that would allow convicted murderers to demand a reconsideration of their sentences after serving only part of their time.
