WJZ correctly reported that it’s a co-owner of the tower. But fellow owner, WMAR, simply described the defendant as “a tower company,” and WBAL didn’t broadcast anything about yesterday’s $2.2 million settlement.

Settlement reveals owners knew the North Baltimore landmark contained lead-based paint, but then hired an unaccredited company to repaint it.

The council also lays out proposed amendments to Baltimore’s charter that would end the practice of awarding contracts to the lowest bidder and allow lawmakers to “create discrete funds to benefit specific programs.”

Johns Hopkins University says its Data Science and AI Institute project is following Baltimore’s environmental procedures, despite the state saying it could be liable for “significant” penalties for sediment discharge violations.
