Baltimore Mayor Catherine E. Pugh resigned Thursday, apologizing for the harm she has caused to the city’s image and the mayor’s office amid a growing scandal over her sales of a self-published children’s book series.

Pugh submitted a letter of resignation dated Thursday. Her resignation is effective immediately, attorney Steven Silverman said at a news conference. She did not attend, and Silverman took no questions.

“Detroit, Baltimore, New Orleans, etc. corrupt cesspits and they all have something in common. “

Your list is far too short! So-called “Black Leadership” is a myth. Just look at what 20 years with Coleman Young at the helm did to Detroit. Even worse than White RAT leaders ( if you think that that’s possible), Black one’s seem to be able to engage immediately in graft and corruption! If you think Chicago has been bad under its former long list of corrupt White RAT mayors, just wait until it’s first Black RAT Mayor “gets her feet on the ground ,” so to speak!

Baltimore can expect exactly nothing to change unless and until they rid themselves of their addiction to Democrats.

Is this the same Baltimore Mayor who told the police to leave the looters and fire starters and terrorists alone?

“”God bless CC and its vanilla suburbs””

I don't know what you mean by CC, but I can tell you that I live in Contra Costa County, California, and that for the most part, Contra Costa County has “vanilla suburbs” like Danville, where we have lived for 52 years. That said, give the Sacramento RATs some time, and they will figure out a way to “forcibly integrate” our little town. They are already trying to run BART trains down our little valley so it will be easier for the trash from Oakland and Richmond to come here during the day to burglarize our homes while we are at work.

Grew up in Chicago, now live near Baltimore.

You could be a glow in dark green RAT, you will still screw your constituents.

No, that was the previous one. Stephanie Rawlings Blake, a younger and more chubby black woman. The “it’s only property” mayor. The one who resigned today is older, skinnier, and has a stealthy past when it comes to personal information. She served in the Maryland legislature for a good while prior to her election as mayor. Two mayors ago started the run of black women. The first one, Sheila Dixon, stole gift cards donated for The Children. Now there’s a black male taking over. He was the City Council president and assumed the mayoral post by succession. Of course he’s a D but seems like sort of a straight forward hardass type of official. Probably his graft is very small.
