Interesting turn of events for Mr. Baker so close to the 2014 campaign. This doesn't look well for PG's efforts to clean up political shenanigans. There is a trail that leads to a well known property management company (of course). It will be interesting to see how Baker plays this out.

Group didn’t report 2010 contribution to Baker campaign - The Washington Post

Quote:
A committee that helped finance Prince George’s County Executive Rushern L. Baker’s 2010 bid for office did not report a $206,000 contribution to his campaign, according to state election records. The records show that the committee, known as County 1, also failed to identify the source of the money, which it donated to Baker’s campaign on Jan. 13, 2010. County 1 did not report any income until Jan. 22, 2010 — $3,000 from a union political action committee — according to the records.
Quote:
Johnson said he believes that at least $200,000 were loans from Renters Finance Corp., a subsidiary of Southern Management Corp., which is headed by businessman David Hillman. The company owns thousands of rental apartments in Prince George’s and across the region.

It's par for MD politics. We have had corruption in PGC for as long as I can remember and the state house is really crazy now with the various new taxes we are being zinged with. A rain tax has to be the epitome of grasping.
