Noon-1:00 pm
The Baltimore City Council is considering a bill which would allow homeowners more time to stay in their houses as they attempt to fend off foreclosure by modifying their mortgages. We'll talk with Robert Strupp, Director of Research and Policy for the Community Law Center, who helped write the bill, and Horatio Bernard, a homeowner facing -- and fighting -- eviction.
1:00-2:00 pm
Now that Congress has voted to pass the economic stimulus package, what can Marylanders expect to get out of it? Who and what will receive help, who is left out, is it enough, and will it work? We'll look at that and other General Assembly matters -- including the push for death penalty repeal and efforts to reregulate the energy industry -- with Karen Hosler, WYPR news contributor, and Charles Robinson, reporter for MPT's State Circle.
