Sheila Dixon - resigned after fraud, embezzlement, theft charges (and one or more convictions?)
Stephanie Rawlings-Blake - Riots on her watch, along with charges that she was not responsive to the riots
Catherine E. Pugh - resigned after it came out that she was taking bribes disguised as 'book sales'
Jack Young - only been a few months...he's got time
Yeah.... and I'm sure if we pulled random small-town mayors we could find similar nonsense. What was that sheriff somewhere pocketing $$ meant to feed prisoners? (all perfectly legal)....
I'm not trying to "whatabout" any of this crap. I'm simply saying that people have an interesting preconception about cities like baltimore which they don't apply to the rest of the US. trumpenfurher has just been the most recent and visible.
Ironically, he blamed b'more being a sh#thole on the president back when Obama was the president. It's convenient that it's totally not the president's responsibility now.
And more amusing, he doesn't mention DC at all and take responsibility for that city... I remember in both cities seeing huge moving swarms of cockroaches on the sidewalks during some times of the year... probably the president's fault (eyeroll)
