"Uncertain Future: Support Efforts for Port of Baltimore Workers"

TL;DR Summary
Thousands of workers at the Port of Baltimore face an uncertain future as cargo shipments come to a halt following a bridge collapse. The closure has led to reduced hours and financial instability for workers, prompting state lawmakers to introduce the PORT Act to provide temporary financial relief for affected workers and businesses. The state is also seeking disaster declaration to grant small businesses the opportunity to apply for low-interest loans. The closure has raised concerns about the economic impact on the region, with efforts focused on reopening the port as quickly as possible.
