Orioles Lease Deal Faces Public Backlash Over Government Subsidy

Maryland Governor Wes Moore has halted a new lease agreement for the Baltimore Orioles after objections were raised by Senate President Bill Ferguson. The lease deal aimed to keep the Orioles playing at Camden Yards for 30 or more years, with redevelopment plans for the property. However, Ferguson expressed concerns about the lease being conditioned on a private owner receiving a 99-year ground lease for Maryland taxpayers' land. The governor's team is working to address these concerns and keep the Orioles at Camden Yards while discussions continue.
