Congress and the President averted a government shutdown this week by passing and signing a spending bill for the 2015 fiscal year. We talk with U.S. Senator Barbara Mikulski about what federal dollars will be headed to Maryland. And Tom Hall remembers three women who passionately devoted themselves to the Maryland arts scene. Plus, an annual Maryland Morning holiday tradition: the Celtic music group, Helicon, joins us for a preview of their Winter Solstice concert. Then, How important to your financial stability is having a bank account? We talk about it with a senior financial economist at the FDIC.
