around the harbor, a lot of residents could see more business. but even if they don't spend the night in hotels, all of those day trippers would have to park in garages and on the streets. no holidays for parking meters. taxis also. how much money it will all generate, is anyone's guess. >> last year, had about 110,000, 140,000 tickets something like that. and they had an estimated $french million.

problem. it was almost the im implication he would do it again. >> reporter: in the interview, henson defended the robocall he wrote for republican bob ehrlich and blamed democrats, including governor o'malley for his prosecution. it was never about voter suppression. it was about trying to do something for a political operative who went to work for a republican who should oiment work for democrats ntheir view. >> reporter: in light of that interview, prosecutors asked for a harsher punishment than the 30 days given to paul schurick on home detention. >> it appears to the state. and i think the court felt that mr. anderson just didn't get it. >> reporter: during his sentencing wednesday, henson told the judge, the case was unfair. once again, calling prosecutors evil. the judge then ordered henson to an immediate 60 days in jail, saying he used his creative talents to undermine the election process. henson's attorney calls the punishment unfair. >> i think it's a terrible situation. it

in the state, until this week, when school leaders erased one word in the student handbook and replaced it with another. >> we replaced one word with "shall" be suspended to "may" be be suspended. >> reporter: that give the principals more leeway when deciding what kind of diss palestinian a student deserve-- discipline a student deserves. >> he says crimes on campus like weapons in the classroom

result is more time in the classroom. and that's what we're all about. >> reporter: last year, school leaders suspended more than 20,000 students. and parents say the decision to suspend belongs to
