Rousuck Review: 'The Merry Wives of Windsor'

President and CEO of the Greater Baltimore Committee Mark Anthony Thomas joins Midday today.

Founded in the 1950s, the GBC's goals are to foster economic development in the Baltimore metropolitan region. One of its most recent initiatives involves Baltimore being named a “Tech Hub,” which qualifies the city to apply for major federal grants to boost the city’s tech sector. On Monday, the Biden administration announced that the first tranche of those grants will be awarded to 12 applicants, but Baltimore is not among them. Baltimore did receive a $500,000 grant to develop a proposal for the second round of funding.

GBC recently released its All In 2035 Economic Plan, which chart's the organization's vision for the region's economy. We ask Thomas about how infrastructure fits into his organization's plan, and about the fastest growing sectors of Baltimore's workforce.

Does a 10-year plan hold the key to unlocking Baltimore's economic potential?

A shaky debate performance last week caused members of the Democratic party to question if the 81-year-old incumbent is the right choice as their candidate.

A New York Times/Siena College poll showed that 69 percent of voters, including 55 percent of Biden voters, said Biden is too old to be an effective president.

Could Democrats change their plans as the party gears up for their national convention in late August?
