It’s a good bet that Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh will be running for re-election in 2020. Why shouldn’t she? Incumbents are always hard to beat. She’ll have plenty of developer and other business money to fund her campaign. She’ll win the Democratic Primary and that will be that.

Hey. As you may know, we did some work recently having to do with the MGM National Harbor casino.
“So what? …I’m hungry and I thought this post had something to do with pie.”
