Key issues from the 4/28/14 “Candidates’ Night”:

• Storm Water fee: why only ten counties ‘taxed’ by the State when storm water is generated from all 23 counties and Baltimore City?
• Transportation: MdDOT must plan and commit funds to widen the Severn River Bridge and replace the E/B Bay Bridge. What is your plan of action?
• Education: What is your position on Common Core?
• Increased State Taxes and 2015 FY budget: County taxes and budget?
• And all other questions from attendees who will attend this session.
