Maryland officials renewed a $332,000 contract Wednesday with a nonprofit that provides cheap cars to needy families, even as state Comptroller Peter Franchot deemed the original contract a “failure.”

Vehicles for Change, the nonprofit vendor supplying the vehicles, delivered on just 16 of the 91 cars that the state’s original contract was expected to provide last year. The state had allocated $302,575 to the program, of which just $41,462 was used.
