Today, a look at what was accomplished by our legislators in Annapolis during the 2018 MD General Assembly, which ended on Monday night. Governor Hogan has signed more than a hundred bills into law since then, and he’s let several become law without his signature. More than 3,100 bills were introduced this year, a record number. Tom talks with two Republicans and two Democrats this afternoon to get their impressions of what the Governor has said is the most productive session of his tenure. Two of our guests represent Baltimore City. Two represent Baltimore and Harford Counties. In the first segment today, a Senate view of the 2018 Session. Senator J.B. Jennings is a Republican who represents the 7th District, which includes parts of Baltimore and Harford Counties. He was elected in 2011 and has served as the Minority Leader since 2014. He joins us on the line from the campus of the University of Maryland - Baltimore County, in Catonsville.Senator Bill Ferguson represents District 46, in Baltimore City. Like Senator Jennings, he was also elected in 2011. He’s been a member of the Budget and Taxation Committee since 2015, and last year, he became the Chair of the Executive Nominations Committee. He’s here with me in Studio A.In the second segment, perspectives from two members of the MD House: Republican Delegate Kathy Szeliga, like Senator Jennings, with whom we spoke earlier, represents District 7 in Baltimore and Harford Counties.
