Moore's pick to lead MSP faces confirmation hurdle

Gov. Wes Moore's nominee for Maryland State Police superintendent will face what legislative leaders called a tough confirmation hearing on Monday. Retired Lt. Col. Roland Butler would become the first Black superintendent of the Maryland State Police. He rose through the ranks of the agency, one that's currently the target of a federal discrimination probe. The governor and Butler are mounting a full court press for the nomination. On Friday, Moore held a private meeting with the Coalition of Black Maryland State Troopers and invited Butler to join them.
