I was a QUALIFIED employee, that showed up for work on time everyday, had perfect ethics and good character. Honesty got me terminated, because we live in an "At will employer" state. An employer can dismiss you with no reason, but a corrupt elected official. I was born here 48 years ago and an avid local historian. From the creation of the Roman Catholic government to the takeover by Jewish money in the 1800s – it has NO interesr in betterment of the citizens. In my life I have watched them sell out a productive manufacturing community and turned into neighborhoods that are left in the growing Medical Resort town and their tourist district. I lost my job and am an Uber driver now. A majority are people visiting for treatment or in town for school with no intention on staying. The residents see what's going on. Local citizen oversight and REAL change is the only way to fix this problem. You can't fix corruption with corruption and CARELESS people in Government jobs that know they won't be fired. Business relations don't help city finance, but local citizens owning local businesses helps the economy, but they chose to be a storage facilty instead.
I love the part where the councilman admits that all important decisions are made behind the closed doors, and doesn't see anything wrong with it.
That was a fantastic historical overview to get me oriented for this discussion. Thank you.
Petty shameless prideful thieves running the village of Baltimore wasting taxpayers money.
Just seems with all the curruptions, scandals, pollution, conversations had, ongoing and the powers that privately run Baltimore, nothing has changed, nothing unique except the deplorable lazy folks with a 2.9 billion budget that can feed a third world.The elected officials depicted are only black or white, what about the other groups? What challenges are they facing ingredients being represented? The mindsets appears to be the same NO ACCOUNTABILITY! THE SO CALLED DECISION MAKERS HAVE NOT CHANGED TO SHOW THE DIVERSITY OF THE CITY STRUCTURE. Majority of the audience are ancestors, senior citizens who live in the country and family members strategically placed and working within the Baltimore City government and so called private corporations. The bottom feeders continue to perish while the top runners hold some illusionary power. Why isn't the mayor and other thieves not fired?
Mayor 4 Life says "And I am telling you I'm not going"
