Orlinsky discusses aging population, inflation, and rising assessments. He favors less government spending and an income tax to show who funds and spends. He proposes a Chesapeake Diamond growth plan from Frederick to Annapolis and Baltimore, stressing targeted economic plans rather than focused industrial development. He criticizes polls, cites past vote share, and questions Potomac Edison power reliability while endorsing alternative fuels and non subsidized rates. He targets agriculture, attacks Venetoulls, and accuses political maneuvering as stale Maryland politics.
