Maryland Supreme Court to hear appeal on Harborplace ballot question

An Anne Arundel Circuit Court judge will not stay her order that struck down a Baltimore City ballot question, pending an appeal of her order to the state’s highest court.

The Maryland State Board of Elections sought the stay last week after appealing Judge Cathleen Vitale’s order invalidating Question F, which was included on already-printed city ballots. Attorneys for the state elections board also filed an appeal with the Supreme Court of Maryland.

Vitale on Monday, citing the appeal and a similar motion before the state Supreme court, decided not to act on the motion to stay her ruling.

That ruling last Monday sided with a group of city voters led by Anthony J. Ambridge, a former Baltimore City Council member, who wanted to block Question F, which would allow the redevelopment of Harborplace.
