Signed commentary on Maryland issues. Opinion reflects the author's views, not the Herald's news reporting.
Maryland's ballot carries 48 local questions on top of three statewide amendments. Opinion: the short, unglamorous items at the bottom deserve as much attention as the races at the top.
Inflation hit 3.7% in September, but the Labor Department's own data show a gasoline spike behind much of the jump. Our view: treat the number as a warning, not a verdict.
Maryland gives voters eight days of early voting and a long Election Day. Opinion: the most useful thing a voter can do now is pick a day, and the reasons are practical.
Opinion: a single statewide start date is a small piece of predictability for families, and the waiver process already gives districts a release valve.
Opinion: Baltimore's Light RailLink stops at Camden Station beside Oriole Park, and using it is one of the easiest ways to make a game day less stressful.
