Amazing. Our course this entire situation is unbelievable. Baltimore (and probably MD) is a laughing stock. How Pugh can say she is returning to work...most people would be looking for an escape quietly into the night.

I only hope someone or something happens to change Baltimore. There has to be one decent person who could be mayor. Not Sheila Dixon. My gosh. she has already had issues. Why would be run or be elected again??

I think Zeke is planning to run.. so there is a slice coming out right there...


Young is likely a shoe in unless he has his own scandals to atone for... Baltimore is no stranger to scandals... Even Del Oaks got locked up for taking bribes and he is in the state legislature.. Just like with anything else.. this type of stuff doesn't happen in isolation.. There are likely others both on Baltimore and Annapolis that may take a fall if and when Pugh starts to sing to lessen her own time...(assuming she gets any)

To me.. the City needs to continue throw its weight in "tween" neighborhoods while making sure the stable ones stay that way.. "tween" neighborhoods are in between stable and unstable neighborhoods... Here are a few that I can think of.. some already are taking off others need help but are not the most far gone places in the city.


Abell/Barclay
Waverly
Old Goucher
Druid Heights/Madison Park
Mondawmin (area NW of the Mall up towards BCCC and around Druid Hill Park frontage)
Forest Park/ Garwin Oaks/Howard Park/Lake Ashburton/Garrison (Some of the nicest homes in the city are in this area)
Clyburn/Greenspring (especially the areas just across for Woodberry.. the houses immediately across from Woodberry on Druid Park Drive are like $100 less than houses in Woodberry and are practically the same..
Irvington
Parkside/ Belair Edison
Mideast/Oliver/McElderberry Park (Just north of Patterson Park... but a world away)
Northwoods
So half the city lol

There is a lot of illegal voting going on in Maryland. Even if their wasn't, the voters usually vote for a creepy democrat thief over a straight laced or decent candidate.

I did not know that there was illegal voting in Maryland. Need to report that.

What's the point? Brian Frosh and the Democrat machine won't do anything about it.

And more......This goes beyond just the Mayor into City Council and into the Corporations.. Pay to Play politics corruption outlined here is astounding.. SMH.. Why in the world would the city turn down millions of dollars that could have been reinvested at a minimum in parks (that were impacted by this activity) but into other city services/programs as well? The only thing that would give me pause is that BGE would likely raise everyone's rates to recoup the money.... SMH

True, the democrat congressmen and senators are on the take in Maryland They steer taxpayer dollars to their friends for kickbacks, instead of spending it on MD public education. They steal from the city kids and we see the results!
