Was the shooting related to a synagogue? There are news reports that are suggesting so.

I will say you have balls. It takes a lot of nerve to say this administration has a history of hiding things. If the Biden Administration had told the truth instead of hiding the number of illegals allowed to flow into America, ICE would not even be necessary. Mr. Brown, you have your hands full just serving the citizens of this country, try making their lives better and help Mr. Trump rid our country of illegals.
It’s should be a law passed,that tax payers money given to colleges can not be turned into campaign donations for elections.
Thank you to the @baltimorepolicedepartment Northwest District for hosting an Interfaith Dinner that brought together religious leaders and community members from many backgrounds.

Looks like a great turnout. Thank you for sharing the pictures!
If you own your home and have the Homestead Tax Credit, your property taxes could rise faster.
Right now, Maryland law limits how much your property taxes can increase each year to 4% if you have the Homestead Tax Credit. That cap protects homeowners from large jumps in tax assessments.
But there’s a new proposal that would raise that limit by 50% to 6% per year.
If this bill passes, Baltimore City’s cap will rank 5th highest among the 23 surrounding jurisdictions, meaning residents in Baltimore City will be less protected than most of our neighbors. ... See MoreSee Less

Actually, tell the WHOLE story. This is one of several changes to city property tax structure to LOWER overall property taxes by actually lowering the base rate which is currently the HIGHEST in the state. The high tax rate is often cited as the reason folks choose not to consider Baltimore City to purchase their home in.. So are you AGAINST lowering Baltimore City' s property tax rate? This overall plan is supported by Maryland Legal Aid and other advocates for lower income Baltimoreans.

This is insane, I hope this is voted down and I along with constituents will be voicing our opinion to those who sponsored and co sponsored this bill
Anyway to STOP this massive increase?
How come spending cuts are never mentioned?
How else is the mayor's office going to buy that 2027 SUV this fall?
Our taxes the already ridiculously high.
Someone needs to fund Scott’s city hall posse.
We already pay the highest taxes in MD, we don't need them to increase any faster. We also have the highest water/sewer bill rates.
Somebody has to pay for Scott's armored staff car.
Blame the democrats and there stupid spending.
Clowns, always looking to steal from the working so you pay for Their INCOMPETENCE AND FAILURES TO BE FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE.
Money grubbing Democrats they all need to go VOTE MD VOTE and clean house
WHY are you posting this? You’re a DEMOCRAT and DEMOCRATS are doing this!!!

One year today.Today as the youngest hostages are being laid to rest, old wounds have been reopened. A year ago, I faced one of the most challenging moments of my time in the office. As I sought to condemn the Hamas attack on Israel and the rise of antisemitism here in Baltimore, I was confronted with the unthinkable: this would be the first resolution I’d ever seen fail to pass in the City Council.
I never imagined that something so clear and deeply personal would meet such resistance. Yet, I am reminded of the lessons passed down by our elders about the double standard: what is unacceptable for others is somehow acceptable when it comes to Jews.
After hearing about the horrors my grandparents endured in the Holocaust, I never believed that “Never Again” could happen again. We know history repeats itself, but the idea that the mass slaughter of innocent Jews could occur again seemed unimaginable—until October 7th.
Despite this, many people from all backgrounds have come together in support and solidarity, and to them, I extend my deepest gratitude. To those who have remained silent, I urge you to look around—at what is happening locally, on college campuses, and in the streets—for what it truly is: pure, unfiltered antisemitism and ask yourself, would you remain silent if this was happening to any other people??
