Governor Schaefer backed a Rocky Gap State Park outdoor concert by the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra costing about 100000 after stage, insurance, transport, and union wages. Despite a 3000 fee, taxpayers fund a 10 million subsidy and a 15000 special grant, raising questions about public funding for a single event.

Dukakis as Duke I II in political thrillers and reforms
The piece frames Michael Dukakis as a shifting political character across three “Duke” eras. It recalls Duke I as his 1974 Massachusetts governorship and tax increases, Duke II as his 1983 comeback with public private partnerships, and the looming Duke III presidency, weighing health care costs, taxes, and national programs amid party strategy and vague platform plans. Bob Reid notes contrasts with other film icons and questions feasibility of universal health care and deficit control.
