American taxpayers have paid for nearly $2 billion in federal aid to fund 30,000 public employees in Baltimore at local and federal levels, an audit shows.
Baltimore reportedly has 13,522 employees with a combined payroll that exceeds $821 million annually. The mayor’s office paid $7 million in 2018 for the salaries of 111 employees and $1 million for public relations fees, according to an investigation conducted by auditors at OpenTheBooks.com.
“We found the city drowning in taxpayer dollars,” Open the Books CEO Adam Andrzejewski wrote in an editorial published Wednesday in Forbes.
Baltimore’s schools pay another 10,770 employees with a combined payroll of $619.3 million—$79.1 million spent outside the classroom, $11.4 million spent on psychologists, $16.4 million for social workers, $7.4 million for counselors, $2.7 million for bus drivers, and $41.2 million for principals and assistant principals, according to the watchdog group.

Blacks have a penchant for electing to public office those of their number with the stupidest biggest mouths imaginable (can you say Shiela Jackson-Lee or Maxine Waters?). Who have the notion that “reparations” are an ongoing “process” thanks to “free Shit!”

And the “icing on the cake” is having Obola add to our misery by bringing us a bunch of sand ni**ers from Somalia to hose us over and bring us Islam to boot!
A property tax of 2.24 cents on the dollar and an income tax of 3.2 cents on the dollar, and they can’t fund these people themselves.
Oh, that’s right, people like to live where the property and income taxes are LOWER, including hypocritical liberals. Too bad, so sad.
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
So I take it they’re still rejecting the admittedly demented Larry Hogan’s genuinely good plan to install window AC units in Baltimore’s schools?
You assume all are black?
