Andy Harris threatened a University of Maryland student journalist with prosecution for recording him after a debate; press groups say his reading of Maryland’s recording law is wrong. Separately, press advocates accuse Gov. Wes Moore’s administration of adding legal hurdles to inquiries from The Baltimore Sun and Sinclair outlets. Drug Costs: Moore is backing a bill for next year’s session that would let Maryland’s drug affordability board use Medicare-negotiated prices to cap costs for 23 medications. Mosby Case: Federal prosecutors have abandoned the mortgage-fraud case against former Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby, ending the charge and allowing her to keep her Florida vacation home.

Moore also paused toll increases, while a new report warns that investment gains improved state finances but pension debt remains a concern.
