BALTIMORE — A few weeks ago we started a new Saturday show here on WMAR "Your Voice, Your Stories". It airs Saturday nights at 11pm. While we'd love for you to join the show, we also know time sometimes doesn't allow it. So, we'll give you some highlights here.
Every week Mallory Sofastaii brings you reports to protect your money, privacy, and your identity. This past week was no different. She previewed a pilot program called mileage-based user fee (MBUF), examining whether Maryland's State fuel tax should be replaced by a distance based model to generate more revenue. Here's how the pilot is going so far.
Remember, Mallory has created a Consumer Guide to help you become your own voice when it comes to fighting for your money. But if you need her, email her, mallory@wmar.com. Because if it's a matter for you, it's a matter for Mallory.
Earlier this week Govans Presbyterian Church celebrated a new milestone.
Maria Morales introduces you to Lea Gilmore, the church's minister for racial justice and multicultural engagement.
Gilmore tells a story from 50-years ago about passing the church with her mother and not being allowed to go inside because of skin color.
Also, we update you on Howard County's Safe and Sound Plan to limit future flooding in historic Ellicott City.
Jeff Hager shows us an inside look at a huge mile long tunnel under construction.
“The 18-foot-diameter structure will have the capacity to channel water at a rate of 26 thousand gallons per second,” explained Howard County Executive Calvin Ball.
And remember, share your stories with the WMAR-2 News team, any time at Storyideas@wmar.com.
