A number new lawmakers are serving the first year of their four-year terms.

Annapolis, Md (KM). A lot of issues will be coming before the 2019 Maryland General Assembly, which convened its 90-day session on Wednesday.

One of them is expected to be transportation. Frederick County Delegate Ken Kerr (D-3B) says that’s one issue he wants to tackle, especially when it concerns Route 15. “The three-mile stretch of Route 15 is a constant bottleneck, choke point in Frederick. We want to get that moved up on the Highway Priority list,” he says.
