Today, this month’s installment of the Accountability Index, our monthly conversation with reporters from the Baltimore Brew. Mark Reutter joins me to talk about campaign financing in the very crowded race for Mayor of Baltimore. Who’s giving how much to whom, and why one of the candidates, former Mayor Sheila Dixon, has attracted attention for recent disclosures about her campaign coffers.
Next, if you live in Charm City, you’re about to get a shiny new trash can, courtesy of the City Government. The Department of Public Works’ Jeff Raymond tells us how the new system is intended to work.
Plus, J Wynn Rousuck reviews the world premiere of "Carmen: An Afro-Cuban Jazz Musical" playing now through March 6th at the Olney Theatre Center.
Then, we dig into the Maryland Morning mailbag to set the record straight about "charter schools" and "public schools," after Tom's February 10th interview with mayoral candidate State Sen. Catherine Pugh prompted a flurry of comments.
And to close, Senator Cory Booker joins Tom by phone from New York to discuss his new book, a memoir that is also a clarion call for political cooperation and compromise in a deeply polarized American society.
