The Marc Steiner Show
Synopsis: 
A proposed cut to Baltimore property taxes and the first online, fully annotated version of Moby Dick.

In our first segment, we talk with Stephen Walters, an economics professor at Loyola University who has a proposal to dramatically cut Baltimore's property tax in order to encourage investment and redevelopment in the city.

Read the Urbanite's feature on Stephen Walters here, and the op-ed he wrote for The Wall Street Journal last summer here. 

Next, Margaret Guroff discusses her new website: the first online, fully annotated version of Herman Melville's Moby Dick. Read her recent essay in Urbanite here.
