AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

WNBA/Local Sports: Baltimore native and players’ union president Nneka Ogwumike says she’ll retire after the 2026 season, ending a 15-year run that includes an MVP and a first-ballot Hall of Fame resume. Housing & Social Services: New HUD data show Baltimore city leads Maryland counties for Housing Choice Vouchers assisted units in 2025 (16,573), while Anne Arundel County ranks 5th statewide in total HUD-assisted units (6,228) and Harford County is 9th in 811/PRAC assisted units (15). Public Finance/EMS: Maryland counties are being squeezed as the state shifts more costs to locals, leaving them to fund more of the rising bill for EMTs and paramedics—an issue highlighted by Harford County’s added education costs and ongoing staffing pressure. Courts/Tax Policy: The Tax Foundation points to Maryland’s digital advertising tax being struck down by the Maryland Tax Court, calling it a warning for other states and noting refunds could total hundreds of millions. Baltimore Governance: Two top city officials—DOT director Veronica Perry and DHCD deputy commissioner Wendi Redfern—are stepping down amid continued staff churn. Business/Community: Baltimore’s Keys Empowers “Bar Exam” program is preparing young musicians for a final showcase, supported by local retail partner DTLR.
