“The populist appeal here is apparent. Heck, if a politician is doing a really bad job, wouldn’t it be nice to see that person get the boot? But, alas, we’ve seen too many examples around the country where recall elections are thinly veiled partisan exercises to try to boost Republican influence — or just throw a monkey wrench at government. Or maybe it’s about right-wing media influence.
PEACE is financed almost entirely by Sinclair Broadcast Group Inc. Chairman David Smith, owners of WBFF Fox45 where the newsroom mantra seems to be, “How can we attack a predominantly Black city today in a way that really satisfies our predominantly white suburban viewers?” The single-mindedness and shameful lack of context given the station’s coverage of school test scores provide the most recent example.
Maryland already has a law that can remove a Baltimore mayor convicted of a crime or “willful neglect” of duty or other misbehavior. It requires the governor to simply remove that person, and then a special election is held. And Baltimoreans will remember the most recent mayoral scandals, involving Catherine Pugh and Sheila Dixon, did not require voter intervention. So what exactly is the problem that the recall election seeks to address?”

Reply to Question: in Baltimore, as a current tenant of a property, is it illegal to answer questions from prospective tenants during a property viewing? by karrotkween
Read your lease.
If it’s not slander or a threat of violence you can basically say anything you want to anyone. Besides which how is landlord going to restrain your speech? Are they genna call the cops? Are they genna file a suit in court?
Ps. Fuck your landlord.

Which this petition is also trying to do by limiting space for housing.

Hogan was raised in Florida. His mother moved there with her two sons after divorcing her husband due to adultery. Hogan’s father campaigned for the PG County Executive with his pregnant mistress accompanying him. He somehow was endorsed by the Knights of Columbus despite the pregnant mistress.
Source: I am old and grew up in PG.

Na, he’s half way to the Yucatan Peninsula by now. He’ll be smoking trees in Belize when they find him.

Don’t hate Amtrak, hate the lack of federal subsidies or rather how much airlines and roads get

Reply to comment by PoopIsAlwaysSunny in Despite about 20 years in U.S., Baltimore student faces deportation by instantcoffee69
Neither party wants to fix it. And if you’re being completely honest you’ll acknowledge that Reagan actually granted blanket amnesty in 1986 which covered about 2.7M illegals at the time.He did it because Tip O’Neill promised to pass legislation to secure the border and penalize employers that hired illegal immigrants. Problem was, contrary to your post, O’Neill and the democrats never held up their end of the Simpson-Mazzoli Act. There hasn’t been a credible attempt at fixing it since. Include that in your 50 years.

Reply to I’ve got a new project. I’m new to the city and wish to explore on the weekends like a traveller. Suggest me your best spots please and nearby parking! by BeyondRecovery1
The Bromoseltzer Tower is a very unique landmark located on the west side of downtown near the Camden Yards baseball park. On Saturday’s 11-4, you can tour 15 floors of working artists studios and a little museum about the history of the 1911 building (free) For $8, you can climb into the clock room to see the inner workings of the clock close up.
There’s metered street parking on Eutaw St. just north of the tower for a couple dollars / hr. (It varies by block.) There are also nearby garages.
I’d go in the morning and go to Lexington Market for lunch. It’s about a four block walk north up Eutaw St. Get a crab cake there at Faidley Seafood still open in the old market. The entrance is one block west on Paca St., across the plaza from the brand new market building. You’ll walk past the historic Hippodrome Theatre (where Frank Sinatra had his first performance.)

Anywhere on the Homewood-Peabody-JHMI or Keswick-Homewood-Eastern-JHMI shuttle routes would be better than living by the East Baltimore campus. The shuttle routes and maps are here.

Having done this trip via Amtrak dozens of times, I can tell you it doesn't get cheaper as you approach the date. Last Sunday I had an 1130 pm train back down here from Philly and was checking different train times that were only like 70% full leading up to departure and the price never budged.

This comment is dumb af. Judge Boardman is a former public defender who made her career defending “black kids framed by the cops.” Also she was just expressing a hope that the defendant hadn’t killed himself which is an appropriate thing for a judge to say

I share the sentiment :) She even offered us money to say only positive things to help her make a sale, and said it'll make our lives easier if we either only answer positively or refer them to her for all questions. sketchhh.
