Rousuck's Review: 'Gem of the Ocean'

Our series of Conversations with the Candidates concludes today and tomorrow with forums for the top two offices in the city of Baltimore.

Today, the leading candidates in the race for Baltimore City Council President make their case to voters. With just a few weeks before the May 14 primary, the candidates are locked in a three-way tie.

Incumbent Nick Mosby faces challenges from District 1 City Councilman Zeke Cohen and former City Councilwoman Shannon Sneed.
