Hello, I am Katie Thomson, Secretary of the Maryland Department of Transportation. Ask me anything!

Hello Reddit!

I was appointed by Governor Wes Moore last December to serve in this role, but I’ve worked in the transportation field for more than 30 years. Previously I had the honor to serve at the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Federal Aviation Administration.  

The Maryland Department of Transportation is responsible for maintaining our state’s transportation system – and it’s more than just roads! Our responsibilities also include the Port of Baltimore, the Francis Scott Key Bridge Rebuild Project, BWI Thurgood Marshall International Airport and our state’s public transit system, including MTA’s service in Baltimore and the upcoming Purple Line. We also oversee the Motor Vehicle Administration, which helps our residents through vehicle registration and driver licensing. We are Serious About Safety for all users of our system, and we want to ensure transportation in Maryland is sustainable into the future. 

I am eager answer your questions about transportation (or where my favorite place to run in Maryland is!).  

Proof:

I’ll start answering questions at 12 p.m. on Monday, October 5th, and plan to stick around for about one hour.

Nearly 11,000 fish die downstream from embattled Maryland dairy farm

This has happened multiple times *after* DEP told this guy to clean up his act.

I hope this farm gets shut down and this guy gets fined millions/goes to jail. Ben Flahart is a complete POS.

Edit to include the key grafs (although the Banner is available thru many libraries)—

A spokesperson for the Maryland Department of the Environment said in a statement Friday that inspectors estimate nearly 11,000 fish died across 25 species, with preliminary findings suggesting the die-off was caused by an overflow at a Kilby Farms manure lagoon.

MDE sued Kilby Farms and an associated real estate company this year over failures to comply with a 2025 settlement to end discharges of foul liquid into Basin Run. The waterway, which is beloved by locals for its population of wild trout, flows west through Cecil County before emptying into the Susquehanna River and the Chesapeake Bay.
