"Maryland Gov Wes Moore's proposal to extend and expand tax credits for low-income residents is moving forward in the Democratic-controlled Legislature. His push for accelerating a minimum wage increase to $15 an hour also is advancing but so far without a provision he proposed to create automatic increases in future years to adjust for inflation.

"'The consequences that we saw from the transatlantic slave trade still continue to be real in people’s lives now.'

'I also know that we have to move now to be able to address the issues of housing insecurity and food insecurity, the racial wealth gap, the educational disparities — the things that we know right now we can get done,' Moore said.

"Moore said he supports an expansion of police reform laws approved two years ago in Maryland."
