Business talk dominates GOP governor debate

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Republicans running for Maryland governor repeatedly compared state government to a business during their fifth debate on Thursday, likening the role they are seeking to that of a corporate executive.

During a panel discussion at Johns Hopkins University organized by College Republicans, the candidates accused Gov. Martin O’Malley’s administration of making Maryland unfriendly to investors. They disagreed about little, and proposed tax cuts as the solution to most issues.
