- Maryland lawmakers reverse course, restore historic vehicle tag eligibility
- Date posted
- 16 days ago
- Description
- Maryland drivers may soon be able to qualify for historic vehicle tags again after lawmakers moved to reverse a recent policy change.
Last year, a change impacted about 70,000 Maryland drivers and many more hoping to qualify in the future. Instead of a rolling 20-year eligibility requirement, the state drew a hard line at 1999, cutting off thousands of drivers. The goal was to generate more revenue by targeting drivers who used the tags to pay less.

- The exploration of Antartica has ties to a Baltimore woman

- Description
- As Women’s History Month comes to a close, the stories of two Maryland women, decades apart show how representation in travel has evolved.
In 1946, Baltimore native Edith “Jackie” Ronne, made history as the first American woman to visit Antarctica.
It was at a time when exploration was dominated by men. Ronne joined a nearly two-year expedition as the only woman on a team of 20. The group of men weren't pleased, as she was tasked to lead the exploration if something happened to her husband.
Despite the resistance, she played a key role in collecting data and helping map the Antarctic coastline. According to the Maryland Commission for Women, she’s considered an early pioneer in Antarctic tourism, paving the way for women who would later explore and make policy decisions there.
