| | | | Ballot Qs and election news Happy hump day, Baltimore. You already know what's coming. We have stories about elections throughout our various markets on the site today. Below, you'll see one that focuses on a few tech-connected takeaways from yesterday's election. Among those is that Baltimore city voters approved Question G, which sets in motion the process to make the Dante Barksdale Career Technology Apprenticeship Fund a reality. Voters also approved Question E, which would prohibit sale or franchising of the city's underground conduit system. I brought up both of these measures in prior newsletters, and wonder what you all think now that they've passed. Is it good to keep the conduit system in the city's hands? Could the fund meaningfully engage and support the city's tech sector?
