A yearslong staffing crisis in the state medical examiner’s office in Baltimore is leading to unprecedented delays in autopsies, an emergency request to federal officials for help and now a legislative push for more workers. To deal with “bodies piling up,” one lawmaker said the statewide agency that investigates sudden and unexpected deaths has turned to a ready source of labor — contractors “flown in from out of state” and recent retirees earning $850 per autopsy. State officials say that labor pool is vital to clearing cases. But lawmakers and union representatives deride the vacant positions across state government generally and say excessive use of contractors may be particularly wasteful and morale-busting in the medical examiner’s office.

Big Fat Larry should be excoriated in public for his failure to rein in that state and its suicidal tendencies. Even William Donald Schaffer didn’t truck this nonsense. Give him credit: he revitalized Inner Harbor and swung a new stadium for the Orioles.
Freak state ping!
From a guy in the Gem State.
Schaefer, when he ran for Governor, was the only DemocRAT I’ve ever voted for. They stopped making them like him long ago.
Yeah, love him or hate him, he was the last of the old school Dems who had a little common sense. He was a dying breed.

Dam! That was easy. Wheres my money?
“It’s not safe anywhere...”
Was it “The block” or the “combat zone” one was Balto the other was Beantown. Were these post WWII hangouts?
The Block is Baltimore and is in the middle of much mayoral attention right now. The Block is for streetwalkers and the mayor thinks Baltimore will benefit by forcing “bars” there to close by 10.
I’m not fond of the idea of “The Block”, especially since it’s so close to genuine downtown, but the mayor is desperate trying to show he’s “doing something” about the VIOLENCE and MURDER. It’s not streetwalkers in one place, BRANDON; it’s random thug killings all over the city!
I think it takes a minimum of at least 2 hours per body for a autopsy, msybe 90 minutes. Not a fast process.
I only voted for Schaeffer finally, when he was Comptroller.
I sort of wished I had voted for him for Gov.
I loved how he told some girl in a McD’s to SPEAK ENGLISH when he was Comp. LOL love it!
What? How horrible!
God bless your poor friend and his grandchild!
It’s winter. They should just put the overflow outside.
I’m serious. This was what happened in the old day for graveyards. They couldn’t dig up the ground on the one hand, and on the other cold storage in a storage mausoleum just dug into the ground, kept the winter dead pretty good until spring.
Nope, for a city like Baltimore, you look for gunshot or stabbing wounds, flip the body over on the other side, look again, and if none then it was a drug overdose. Thats 2 minutes.
LOL No. Catonsville.
Solid plan man.
Thank you, FRiend. The great-grandmother of the child is devastated.
This bullshit phony crap has killed one of my dogs and is making it very hard to save the other.
You don’t want to know my opinion of every spineless sheep who bought into this lie.
/c’mon karma, do yer thing
Screw that story, I want to read this one
Dogs previously on death row for allegedly killing a cat are released to Millersville family
Wow, what has happened?
If it’s anything like my COVID experiences….I can guess.
Hell even my MIL died of COVID, and regardless, she had to die alone, dumped out on the hospital curb 2x in a week cuz of this stupid crap fear by the very people who should be able to handle it!
Huh? Non-sequitur? What about Catonsville? And what has it to do with the Block?
Familiarize me...........
