Podcast appearances and mentions of Peter Franchot

Peter Franchot is running for Maryland Governor. We gave all candidates the same 4 questions and asked that all answers be 30 seconds.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Maryland voters head to the polls next week. Mail-in voting has already begun. Early voting starts Thursday. Election day is two weeks from Tuesday. Today, it's a special installment in our series of Conversations with the Candidates 2022.  Two of the three leading candidates in the Democratic primary for Governor join Tom for the hour to discuss the issues on the minds of Marylanders. In early June, a poll published by the Baltimore Sun identified Comptroller Peter Franchot, non-profit executive Wes Moore and former Labor Secretary Tom Perez leading a 10-person field in the Democratic primary. Those three candidates polled in the low double-digits. A large number of respondents said they had not made up their minds. In a poll released on Tuesday of this week, commissioned by WYPR, the Baltimore Banner and Goucher College showed the race between Mr. Franchot, Mr. Moore and Mr. Perez to be even closer than it was in early June. Those three candidates are now in a statistical tie. The other candidate who is closest to them is former Attorney General Doug Gansler, who is about ten points behind. We invited the top three candidates to appear on Tuesday of this week. Peter Franchot's spokesperson declined our invitation citing a schedule conflict. We tried a different date, today, and once again citing a schedule conflict, the Franchot campaign declined our invitation. And so, we are pleased to welcome Wes Moore and Tom Perez to today's conversation. They join us on Zoom. Wes Moore is a best-selling author who has worked in the private and non-profit sector. He was most recently the CEO of the Robin Hood Foundation, a national philanthropic organization. And, full disclosure: he once hosted Future City,a public affairs show on WYPR. He has chosen as his running mate former Delegate Aruna Miller from Montgomery County… Tom Perez is a lawyer who headed the Civil Rights Division in the US Justice Department, and served as MD labor secretary during the O'Malley administration. He was also appointed US Labor Secretary during the Obama Administration, and he was the chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC). He has chosen as his running mate Shannon Sneed, a former Baltimore City Councilwoman… We begin with an opportunity for each candidate to say hello and explain why they deserve your vote.

Today, it's another in our series of Conversations with the Candidates: 2022.  Tom's guest is Bowie Mayor Tim Adams.  He's running in the Democratic primary for Maryland Comptroller. His opponent in that race is Del. Brooke Lierman, who represents Baltimore in the General Assembly. Barry Glassman, the Harford County Executive, is running unopposed in the Republican Comptroller primary. The Maryland Comptroller is an office that doesn't change hands very frequently. Louis Goldstein had the job for nearly 40 years. The current Comptroller, Peter Franchot, was first elected to that office in 2007. He is running in the Democratic primary for Governor. Tim Adams was elected Mayor of Bowie in November, 2019, the first African American to hold that position in the city's history. He also serves as President and CEO of Systems Application & Technologies, Inc., or SATECH, a firm he founded in 1989. It serves the national security sector. It's headquartered in Upper Marlborough. Mr. Adams holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Xavier University, a Master's Degree in Business Administration from the University of New Orleans, and an honorary Doctorate from Bowie State University. He is also a lifetime member of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity. If elected Comptroller, Mr. Adams would be the first Black comptroller and the first paraplegic to hold statewide office in Maryland. Tim Adams is 62 years old. He lives in Bowie, Maryland. He is married to the Honorable Sheila R. Tillerson Adams. They are the parents of twins, Timothy and Kayla. An older daughter, Tiara, passed away in 2020. They have a young grandson, Nehemiyah. Tim Adams joins us on our digital line from Bowie.    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As Maryland's comptroller for the past decade and a half, Peter Franchot has wielded one of just three votes--along with the governor and state treasurer--on the powerful Board of Public Works. As Franchot sees it, his know-how as comptroller prepares  him to be governor, so he's running for the Democratic nomination. Franchot rejects the idea that his pattern of cooperating with the Republican governor, after sparring with the previous Democratic executive … won't play well with Democratic primary voters.  “I speak up. People like that, they want somebody who is going to be - have an outsider perspective. I happen to have insider skills in addition to having that perspective.” Peter Franchot on jobs, transit, housing, crime and the Bay.  Links: Peter Franchot, Register to vote, July 19 primary in Maryland, MDElections2022.

In this episode: Peter Franchot gets into the 2022 Gubernatorial starting block!

Calls for Mayor Pugh to resign continue to mount, Trump clashes with the 9th circuit over asylum claims, and Peter Franchot joins to talk about the Annapolis legislative session.

Comptroller of Maryland Peter Franchot was one of the first officials to ask that Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh step down after the controversy revolving around her 'Healthy Holly' book deals. Here in this interview, Franchot explains why.

What the hell is going in Maryland and Texas? You may have caught a bunch of coverage of these two states on GBH over the past year. Their state politicians are creating—depending on who you ask—all sorts of good, bad, and ugly situations for their respective craft beer industries. In Maryland, infighting about how beer is sold and regulated has led to the legislature’s attempts to strip oversight from comptroller Peter Franchot, who has led efforts to boost the state's craft-beer economy and earned enemies along the way. In Texas, it's a similar story, where wholesalers and lobbyists have long thumbed their noses at small beer producers. Despite a recent breakthrough that could finally allow breweries to sell beer to-go from their taprooms, there are still shenanigans to work through as some wholesalers clap back. For this episode of the Good Beer Hunting Sightlines podcast, we're checking in on the latest from these two states. First, with Liz Murphy, a reporter and columnist who writes about Maryland beer for the Annapolis Capital Gazette, then with Josh Hare, founder and president of Austin's Hops & Grain Brewing, as well as board chairman of the Texas Craft Brewers Guild. Both will offer some insight into the quirky bitterness and political games at play. What the hell is going on? Listen in. [Editor’s note: the Maryland portion of this podcast begins at 1:28, and the Texas portion begins at 30:50.]

Today, we sit down with Maryland's Comptroller, Peter Franchot--who I might add is one of the most accessible elected officials-- to talk about his roles, his failed Reform on Tap program, taxes, and his battle with the "Annapolis Machine" that is trying to strip him of some of his duties in a vendetta. And with Governor Hogan as a term-limited Governor, we find out if Peter Franchot might be next in line! Want to know more?  Here's his website! https://www.marylandtaxes.gov/

“The only thing silent about Peter Franchot is the T at the end of my name.” Over the last couple of years we have spoken with Comptroller Peter Franchot several times about legislation to reform alcohol laws in Maryland. This year we are discussing legislation that has been introduced to strip the comptroller’s office of the responsibility of regulating alcohol, tobacco, and fuel. The comptroller as well as many others believe this legislation was introduced purely as a personal attack on him for being outspoken about the craft beer industry.

Maryland's midterm elections are over: Larry Hogan was re-elected; Democrats gained seats in the House of Delegates; Peter Franchot won the most votes of any statewide Democrat. What does all of this mean?  Len Foxwell and Ryan Miner will make sense of Maryland's results LIVE on A Miner Detail Radio Podcast on Sunday, November 11, 2018. 

Today’s guest is a first for GBH - we’re speaking with a state wide, publicly elected political figure - who finds himself at the center of a political movement working to change the laws for Maryland’s small craft brewers. It’s no accident that he ended up in this movement - states all over the union have been reinventing their beer laws to make way for new business models necessary to support small craft brewer, especially when it comes to own-premise taproom models, self-distribution, and franchise rights with wholesalers. Most states have incrementally improved these laws over time, attempting to balance the needs of federally mandated wholesale tier, meant to prevent monopolies, and the beds of consumers and brewers, and more recently, the retail voice has been finding its way into these discussions as well. But a few states, like Texas, Georgia, Alabama, and Maryland, have been especially slow to evolve. In these states, the multi-generational wealth of wholesalers, backed by the largest brewing conglomerates in the world, have held an immense amount of influence over politicians. And progress in those states beer laws has been all but static. Peter Franchot, the state’s elected comptroller, is very well known and depending on your view of things, he’s either a uniquely divisive figure in Maryland politics, or he’s uniquely talented at uniting folks around an issue. His role as comptroller is to structure the states financial agenda, which includes tax incentives for industry, and creating fairness is its economic systems, among many other related things. Unlike most states, Maryland doesn’t appoint their comptroller through the governor’s office, but instead elects the comptroller directly. And that means two important things - 1. it enables the voters to compartmentalism their financial interests from the rest of their political agendas - and 2. it protects that office from political influence to a degree, because the comptroller is beholden to the voters, not the governor. For Franchot - that can sometimes put him at odds with his own party’s agenda when they’re in power. And it can sometimes put him in the position of courting the factor of a republican governor when he wants to get something done, and that works against the democratic machine. And he seems to relish in it. And he keeps getting re-elected - with barely any contention. One of the ways he maintains that powerful role is through the campaigns he initiates that tend to be popular, perhaps even populist agendas. He’s gone after common sense school reforms, he fought against sot machines infiltrating his state, and most recently he’s saddled atop the rapid growth in craft beer as a way to rally his voters around something they want to see more of, and against the special interests it threatens. And he’s riding that saddle to electoral victory over and over again, but so far, doesn’t have a victory to show for it on behalf of he brewers themselves. He’s had remarkable success using the uncommon leverage of his office and its popularity to ram through big changes that most states are required to piece-meal over time. He makes a lot of enemies along the way, and more than a few friends, and it remains to be seen wether that’s good for craft beer legislation, or if this might be one battle he takes to the teeth of big beer money and power, and perhaps walks away wounded for the effort. It remains to be seen - and there are small brewers I spoke with on its sides of that strategy. Some are rallying behind the effort while others fear it may hinder their progress at the expense of Franchot having a self-serving campaign that keeps him popular even if he fails. Most would be happy with even a small win. But Franchot, never a meek contender, only seems interested in making his cause bigger in the meantime. In fact, as we sat and talked, I watched his handler wince more than once as Franchot, on the spot, started spontaneously adding new provisions to his bill. It’s a bold strategy. Let’s see if it pays off for him.

Today, another in Midday's series of Conversations with the Candidates.Tom's guest is Maryland Comptroller Peter Franchot. He’s been the state’s fiscal chief since 2007, after firsxt beating the incumbent, William Donald Schaefer, in the 2006 primary. As comptroller, Franchot is a member of powerful Board of Public Works in Annapolis. And he is vice-chair of the State Retirement ---- Pension System. Franchot is a Democrat who does not always toe the party line. His relationship with the legislative leadership in Annapolis -- fellow Democrats Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller and House Speaker Michael E. Busch -- has seemed increasingly frayed this year. Franchot does seem to have a close working relationship with Republican Gov. Larry Hogan. Before becoming Maryland’s top fiscal officer, Franchot served in the House of Delegates for two decades, representing the 20th District in Montgomery Co. That district reaches roughly from Takoma Park, north to Colesville.He has been Maryland’s comptroller for 11 years, and he is seeking a fourth term. His opponent in the November election is a CPA from Worcester County, Republican Anjali Reed Phukan.This conversation was livestreamed on the WYPR Facebook page. To check out that video, click here.

There's no handle, no odds, no Woodlawn Vase and no infield, but it's what I look forward to every year: calling WBAL's Fakeness Stakes - this year featuring competitors like Peter Franchot (saddled up on Beer And Beaches), former state senator Nathaniel Oaks (riding Votes For Sale) and former Baltimore police commissioner Darryl De Sousa (jockeying About Those Taxes).

Maryland’s comptroller, Peter Franchot swings by to discuss how craft beer-related bills fared in this year’s General Assembly, and his plan going forward.

It happened just a few days before Christmas: Maryland’s governor, comptroller and treasure — the state’s Board of Public Works — voted to cancel the $1.5 billion State Center redevelopment plan on mid-town Baltimore’s west side, a project 10 years in the making. Gov. Larry Hogan claimed the plan made no economic sense. What’s more, the state filed a lawsuit against State Center’s developer, seeking to break the leases for office space that underpin the financing of the project. Then, state comptroller Peter Franchot suggested that a whole new plan be developed to include a sports arena for an NBA or NHL team. And just like that, Hogan agreed to have the Maryland Stadium Authority fast-track a study of how to redevelop the property, including whether an arena would be feasible.So, in a very short period of time, a huge, well-vetted redevelopment project was killed, a new one proposed, and the state went to war with the developer. Merry Christmas! What happened? Dan goes over the story with Caroline Moore, CEO of Ekistics, the Baltimore development firm and leader developer of State Center.Links:http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/baltimore-city/bs-md-state-center-vote-20161221-story.htmlhttp://www.baltimoresun.com/business/bs-md-ci-state-center-ruling-20140327-story.htmlhttp://communityarchitectdaily.blogspot.com/2016/12/governor-kills-second-baltimore-mega.html
