Let’s get this out of the way up front: The answer to the headlined question is “no.” Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown didn’t graduate cum laude from Harvard and later from Harvard Law without having substantial intellectual chops.
Yet that inelegant question – does Brown have what it takes to be governor? – could become a defining issue as Maryland’s aimless gubernatorial campaign enters the stage where voters start paying attention.
State schools super Lowery participates in videoed discussion on Common Core successes; state Election Board won’t certify online voting without more security; PSC proposes to classify rideshare companies as “common carriers,” subjecting them to taxi regs; gubernatorial candidates discuss education, including Pre-K initiatives; and first TV debates set for Democratic governor candidates.
Wary members of the state election board said they could not certify a new voting system for use in the June primary election until more security measures are put in place.
It was an odd group of “visionaries” being honored a premier Maryland environmental group, 1000 Friends of Maryland, celebrated its 20th anniversary Wednesday night. There were two real estate developers, a chef and a builder of roofs and walls.
In his April 21 Maryland Reporter column, Barry Rascovar describes the O’Malley Administration’s policy toward Garrett County as one of “benign neglect.” The facts say otherwise.
We have two rather well known and established candidates for governor in Brown and Gansler – and yet, the more they campaign and the more people learn about them the less people seem to like them. Mizeur is the only candidate gaining ground.
Did the O’Malley administration leave a $404 million structural deficit for the next governor?; the late Torrey Brown remembered as a friend of the environment; former Prince George’s exec Wayne Curry has cancer; St. Mary’s poll finds “no preference” prefereable to all gubernatorial candidates; Clinton to host Brown fund-raiser; Gansler sticks with attacking Brown over health exchange problems; Carroll residents get a chance to hear from GOP gubernatorial candidates; and General Assembly candidates begin emerging.
In a major shift in public education, states across the nation have been implementing a new set of standards known as the Common Core. Common Core appears as a subject in national and local news media and is a constant subject of debate, particularly in conservative circles. Despite all this attention, Common Core still remains a confusing topic for many people. This three-part series answers some basic questions about Common Core. Part 3 looks at how the standards are working in Maryland and what they will cost.
The inaugural Maryland Poll from St. Mary’s College of Maryland surveyed the political landscape heading into the 2014 primary election and found that most Marylanders have absolutely no preference when it comes to the candidates for governor.

O’Malley leaves for five-day, 50-person congresssional trip to Ireland, Amsterdam; Del. George measuring the curtains in the governor’s residence; Lt. Gov. Brown fights back after Gansler attacks leadership abilities; vendor seeks payment from Lollar; and Rawlings-Blake collects, spends war chest donations.
