Harborplace ballot question awaits ruling from Maryland Supreme Court

An attorney for voters trying to block a Baltimore referendum on redevelopment of the Inner Harbor faced stiff questioning Wednesday from several Maryland Supreme Court justices, who are trying to determine if the issue should go forward. But the justices did not rule after the hourlong hearing, which came less than four weeks before Election Day and as thousands of mailed-out ballots with the question on them have already been returned by city voters.
