Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy warned Friday that Maryland’s unconstitutional diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) requirements threaten the construction of a critical multibillion-dollar bridge project.
Duffy wrote to Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D) concerning the troubled Francis Scott Key (FSK) Bridge replacement project, emphasizing the Trump administration’s commitment to overseeing all federal dollars funding the replacement of the bridge.
Politico reported the price tag for the Francis Scott Key Bridge could exceed $5 billion — more than double Maryland’s original estimate.
In the letter, Duffy raised concerns over reports of escalating project costs and questioned the proposed budget and timeline, raising alarms regarding unconstitutional DEI contracting practices that prioritize race- and gender-based requirements ahead of project completion.
“It’s my job to ensure the American people’s tax dollars are spent properly and major projects are completed on time and on budget,” said Duffy in a statement. “DEI contracting practices and ballooning project costs are already threatening to delay this critical project. We will leverage our oversight authorities to ensure this vital bridge is rebuilt the right way.”
That’s right, unless we an inferior bridge.
go get him, Sean!!! He is a POS that has destroyed our state!!
