Baltimore Mayor

This hour we continue our mayoral candidates week, in a final interview with Otis Rolley, a democrat who is challenging incumbent Stephanie Rawlings-Blake in the primary next Tuesday. A recent Baltimore Sun poll shows Rawlings-Blake with a commanding lead over her opponents. In an effort to close that gap, Rolley summoned up some star power yesterday as comedian Bill Cosby returned to Baltimore to stump for the former city planning director.

 State Sen. Catherine Pugh wants to cut the city's property tax rate in half over four years. Ms. Pugh, one of a group of Democratic candidates who have lined up to challenge Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake in the September primary,  is our guest this hour.

A conversation with former city planning director Otis Rolley.  He was the first to officially file his candidacy to be Baltimore’s next mayor and is now joined by a growing group who will challenge current Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake.
