BWI Marshall Airport has the lowest parking rates among the D.C. region’s three airports, but those rates are going up this summer. Long-term parking will go from $8 per day to $11 per day after July 1, which is the least expensive parking option at BWI Marshall. It’s the equivalent of economy parking at Dulles International, which is $14 per day, and economy parking at Reagan National, which is $19 per day.

Thousands of shipping containers on the Dali, the 984-foot cargo vessel that struck and destroyed the Francis Scott Key Bridge more than a month ago, face an uncertain fate.

State funds are now being distributed to longshoremen affected by the March 26 collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, but it’s only filling a fraction of what the workers typically earn. WBAL-TV 11 News got a rare insider’s look Tuesday at the pipeline of state aid to longshoremen. More than 1,800 union workers stop by the International Longshoremen’s Association Local No. 333 on a weekly basis to fill out paperwork necessary for certification and to seek advice to ensure their documents are in order.

Employers promoting jobs in Maryland will need to include salary ranges in ads and postings starting later this year, and experts say the law will help job seekers at the negotiating table with little extra work for employers. Gov. Wes Moore signed a wage transparency bill into law April 25 that will require employers to disclose pay ranges in job postings for positions that will be performed at least partially in Maryland.
