Stop stealing the tax dollars and failing to uphold your fiduciary duties and accountability to the people. The crime is out of control. What's your plan? All I hear is you doubling down on bad policies that led us here. Pathetic.

    Lots of people commenting here that He's a future presidential candidate. It's too early to tell whether or not he has what it takes to lead us as a nation. We need more than just a handsome man with a beautiful wife and children and a gigantic smile. Democrats have been running Baltimore for decades. They have yet to make a positive change. If he can clean up Baltimore, maybe he can look to higher office.
