Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy on Friday pressed Gov. Wes Moore (D-MD) for details regarding Maryland’s plan to rebuild the Francis Scott Key Bridge, including whether the state is using “unconstitutional” diversity, equity, and inclusion contracting practices. 

“Our intention is to deliver a project that not only meets but exceeds the expectations of the traveling public,” Duffy wrote in a letter to Moore. “It is my role to guarantee that federally funded projects benefit the entire Nation through every dollar spent. When a State partners with DOT on major infrastructure projects like the FSK Bridge, it partners with the American people.”
