Donna, the sign says it all behind me. Your neighborhood grocers since 1930. But not anymore says syria santonis supermarkets cfo rob santoni. All because of the city bottle tax. The announcement came over the weekend. It will be a change. It was a rare breed in the grocery business. Not part of a big chain and trying to remain a full serve store. It will be a big loss for me. Cfo rob santoni blames one thing the city five cent tax on soda and bottled water. We are no longer competitive and can no longer afford to absorb the bottle tax and not look like we are pricing ourselves out of the market. It is our number one front page that is the . Ds, traction. That is one of the big reasons that they choose a certain market to shop that. He says that it has cost him 4 million in sales over the past three years. He dismissed increased competition as a factor. As southeast baltimore has developed, so has it grocery market,ith the shoppers the safeway in canton, and whole foods grocery.

Reporting live, im jayne miller, wbaltv 11 news. Theell, if you do not know name jolene ivey now, you will. She will be running with doug the to in his run for governor. Is this timing the winds of its or is the campaign trying to deflect new criticism about ganslers backseat driving habits . Job deflectingr criticism. The candidates ignored questions about his backseat driving. As for the running mate, that was chosen before the Washington Post broke that story. I would like to introduce jolene ivey. The ticket announcement comes as the campaign tries to put out a political firestorm. It started over the weekend with a Washington Post story exposing complaints by ganslers date trouper drivers. According to an internal memo published by the paper, gansler repeatedly ordered troopers to speed and bypass traffic jams. On one occasion he became so impatient, he insisted on writing himself, using emergency equipment because he was late to a redskins game. Neither candidate would address the issue. Ganslers supporters attempted to block news photographers as the candidate made a fast getaway. Do you think this comes from the lieutenant governors Brown Campaign . You think that they want to disrupt the announcement . I think that would be a fair assumption. Painted byure being these documents is not an accurate reflection of reality. A few of the 18 troopers who feltded me with protection that my backseat driving made them uncomfortable. For that i apologize. Gansler says he never asked them to violate traffic calls. It may touchr some a nerve. All right, you have someone who is the attorney general who may be making reckless incisions, although again, it is incumbent upon the state bobo officials to actually make the right decision. Hope open the state officials to actually make the right decision. Everyone could be seen as doing understand underhanded politics. Ivey is cast as a contrast to gansler on the campaign trail. She has independent thoughts. She does not always agree with me. That is why i brought this person on the ticket to have broad strategy. Delegate ivey told the crowd we just will make history. We will make the difference in lives of people. Reporting live downtown, david collins, wbaltv 11 news. The latest on the Government Shutdown. More hope, but no deal yet. The dissent into this function could reach a lower level. Default on the Government Debt on top of the shutdown. Steve handelsman has the latest from l. From l. From capital hill. President put on more pressure. Obama joined furloughed workers at a food bank. I think House Republicans continue to think that somehow they can extract concessions by keeping the Government Shutdown or threatening default. Many House Republicans blame him for not compromising on obamacare. Given the ruthless way the shutdown has been handled, i believe this president would actively act to destroy the full faith and credit of the united states. If the debt ceiling is not raised by october 17, 61 billion of Interest Payments would not be paid by november 1. Then payments to Social Security kim promise isy. Worried about her kids. Next a day, i will probably have to dip into my childrens savings. One of the Democratic Senators is joe manchin. The world is looking at us right now. We cannot govern ourselves. A result thatd hopefully will be acceptable for both sides. The white house meeting was delayed to allow Senate Leaders to finish. But the question is would john boehner allow a vote on any plan that does not roll back obamacare and spending as Tea Party Republicans demand. Even if it passes, another deadline crisis could be in just a few months. Hill, im capitol steve handelsman. Wbaltv 11 news. Breaking news over northwest baltimore.

Lot ofwell he saw a errors in execution, when it came to the decisionmaking, the coach did not flinch. He supported the calls he made yesterday and stands by them today. I feel like we have got a lot of speed up there. We can make plays and put the pressure on people. Can you put me on the ground . There will be times when that is the right thing to do. But i believed we could make a play right there. They were pushing coverage deep. We have three timeouts. I felt like we could do it. If we did not score, our defense would force upon them.
