Hogan is expected to detail some of his plans in a news conference today.

Things got awkward when WYPR’s Sheila Kast asked new Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby about recent personnel shifts in the state’s attorney office. While some turnover was expected with Mosby’s election, she is accused of being particularly vindictive in replacing some prosecutors who supported her opponent (fmr. State’s Attorney Gregg Bernstein) in the election, even firing a prosecutor mid-trial. When asked repeatedly about the situation by Kast, Mosby refused to answer, citing confidentiality rules about personnel matters.
