Do any of you actually live in Baltimore? I do and have for most of my life. Since O'Malley has taken office, the drug problem is definitely getting better, especially over the last 2 years. I have noticed stepped up police patrols walking the beat to deter criminals. I am right in the heart of Baltimore and while there are many problems, O'Malley is not to blame. And I'm not even a democrat. The school budget was not his fault, that problem came from the screwed up board of education in Baltimore and as far as most of the other problems, take a look at the City Council, they definitely have their share of elected idiots. It is getting better though. There are now tougher procedures for getting on welfare (to stop fraud) and lots more drugs programs out there to deter the petty users, as there seems to be no way in hell to stop the flow of drugs. This problem is EVERYWHERE, not just in Baltimore. And while there are many addicts in Baltimore, there are a large amount of users coming to Baltimore from all over MD and elsewhere. If you're gonna bash Baltimore, at least take a look at the REAL progress firsthand, not just with a drive through, either.
