It’s Friday, and that means it’s time for a look back at the week in Annapolis. WYPR’s state house reporter Christopher Connelly sat down with News Director Joel McCord for a look at a week that included the new governor’s first state of the state address, action on regulations to curb phosphorous from chicken manure from polluting the Chesapeake and a proposed tobacco tax hike.
