that. lookkng at what is happening on the roadways, candace dold with a traffic edge. >> reporter: a lot of annoyed drivers out there especially on the top end of the beltway. the upper loop lanes at harford road only 11 miles per hour. you will find the delay. on the jfx, the congested ride ú%ere as well, 30 miles per hour road. let's talk about 83 at northern baltimmre county in fact. it's because of appear accident on the southbound lanes. you will find it at belfast road. now the good news is that it's finally in its cleaaing stages but the damage is done and we do have delays leading up toward all of the activity. you could always use falls road or york road as the alternate routee once you get past all of that and make the check on the beltway. let's takeea live look at pikeville, that is going to be a bit of a cramped ride and even the inner loop stretch as well up toward the jfx. that is the usual deal, though. as you go around the bend on 695, at liberty road, checking out the outer loop lanes, you ccn see a straight stack of cars outer -- bridges on the outer loop direction. seeing the cramped ride the ordinary deal from owings mills heading on the southbound lanes down toward the beltway. and in carroll county an reported. it's a crash involving a bus, no passengers are on board, so you will find the activity on route 32 at washington lane. that's a look at the morning travels. patrice, over to you. thank you, candace. still ahead, a kansas professor goes on a junk food -iet to prove calories are what coonts when it comes to losing weighh. we want to know what you think. can junk ffod be a part of a can junk ffod be a part of a healthy these sausage pancake bites are an amazing combination. combine that with the taste, and it's a combo combo. huh? dunkin's new sausage pancake bites. sausage inside maple-flavored pancake -- 3 for just $1.59. america runs on dunkin'. >>a nutrition professor from kansas state university loses 27 pounds while eating twinkies and other junk food. he says he is did it to prove calorie counting is what matters when trying to shed pounds, not nutritional value. that brings us to the question of the day, can junk food be a part of a healthy diet. our first caller is kelly from baltimore. kelly, what would you think. >> i would say no, because you said healthy diet. this is junk food, how can that be healthy. >> i know, i would like it to be healthy, but i think i agree with you. let's go to kim in baltimore. good mmrning. >> good morning. >> junkkfood, fast food can all of that be a part of healthy diet. >> absolutely not, high in caloriess grrase, sodium, no, i disagree. >> thank you for your call. >> let's take a look at what folkk are saying online. we got a lot of responses. kara says, yes, it's called moderation and control. kimberly says everything in moderation is fine. you eat too many grapes and you shot your blood sugar through the roof. moderation is key. jennifer says, no, i don't think junk food is a part of a healthy diet. not only can it cause you to gain weight, but it's unhealthy in so many other ways. shawn says not a good idea. he is not getting enough nutrition. i would not ecommend it, because people have different metabolisms and even steve fertig weighed in on this one. his was so long that i can't read it. we have been hearing about it all

taxes. they weigh in on whether the ee payments. holly has something she'd like to say. bye, camry. the ellctions are over, finally, but what happens next has some people just as concerned. the t word, taxes being talked about. governor o'malley never said he was flat out gainst taxes, so what does that mean. mmgols joins us. the governor did say he doesn't plan to introduce taxes to his budget but he doesn't necessarily say he won't go along if it's presented to him by lawmakers. the question is it likely that we will see taxes and the second part of that question, do we need to raise taxes. delegate anderson, we will start with you. >> clearly we need money. taxes, absolutely no. george bush said and he tried to be emphatic. we're in a fragile time in the economy not just in the united states but here in the state of maryland. burden on the peopleeof maryland. >> having said that, though we're at 1.7 billion deficit. some people would say, can we afford not to do new taxes. >> and i was trying to finish my sentence, i'm sorry, patrice that i talked over you. there's new taxes that we're going to look at, but in terms of a sales tax, an income tax for property tax, those are the three main taxxs that affeet everybody. touched, but we talk about things like an alcohol tax or -- that is something that we can colonel look at?3 >> we will look at and let me bring in delegate mccomb mass into this. it's so nice to have you here today. do you think we will see tax inside the near future and are they needed to try to battle r deficit? >> we did not need the greatest tax increase in 2007. i don't think we need the tax increase now. the concern is that we have a couple of commissions that are working on things that we won't have reported into the legisllture until

be done veey carefully. quite honestlyyi agree with delegate anderson. situation, so we should not be raising any taxes. >> let's talk about the alcohol ú%x again, because the both of ú%u have brought it up and it's been debated for years. you said it could hurt small businesses. you there's going to be people -ho say alcohol is a luxury and a dime a drink is not the end of the world. they rather raise taxes on something like that than property taxes. -s the alcohol tax the way to go. >> i agree with delegate maccooas. thhs is a tax that we haven't bothered to change in more than 20 years. a tax of hard liquor and beer and wine up in the last 30 years. it certainly has been a tax that has been protected by the alcohol industry. they have great lobbyist down in annapolis and those of us who just come off of elections fresh understand that we represent people here in the state of maryland. we don't represent lobbyist, and this time when the people of maryland are in trouble, we really
