Four weeks ahead of the general election, Democrat Anthony Brown and Republican Larry Hogan met yesterday for their first debate. Questions posed by WJZ-TV and The Baltimore Sun covered education, crime, the environment, immigration and negative campaigning. But, they kept coming back to taxes, state spending, jobs and the economy.
Fraser Smith, WYPR’s senior news analyst and columnist for The Daily Record, is here to help us draw some insights from the debate. And, with us on the phone is Todd Eberly, political science professor at St. Mary’s College.
