The Maryland agenda: fewer guns, more jobs

When Wes Moore first ran to be Maryland’s 63rd governor, his pitch came down to this: “No matter where you start in life,” he would often tell his audience, “you deserve an equal opportunity to succeed.” In signing into law legislation to restrict who can carry firearms and where they can be carried, as he is expected to do this afternoon, and to make it easier for individuals convicted of a crime to have their records expunged once they meet certain criteria, Governor Moore has made his most serious effort to date to provide that opportunity.
