💨 Abstract

Maryland Governor Wes Moore announced a veto on a bill to create a commission studying potential slavery reparations, arguing that the issue has already been extensively studied. The bill, a top priority of the state's Legislative Black Caucus, passed with strong bipartisan support but Moore believes it's time for action rather than more studies. The caucus expressed deep disappointment, noting the timing of the veto amidst national actions against Black communities.
