An Anne Arundel County judge on Monday nullified a ballot question asking Baltimore voters to rezone part of the Inner Harbor, effectively killing an ambitious redevelopment proposal along the city’s waterfront in the process.
The initiative, titled “Question F,” will still appear on city ballots this November, but the results for that vote will not be certified, Judge Cathleen Vitale, a former Republican state lawmaker, ruled.

Mayor Brandon Scott’s office said through a spokesperson that the administration expects the state to appeal and is confident the Supreme Court will reverse Vitale.
