Mostly hype, IMO. His "B'LIEVE" campaign is a Potemkin charade. Murders and crime havent dropped one iota since he's come into office, corruption and inept gov't are at the same or higher levels, and as far as "The City that Reads".. name three !
LOL - ain't it the sad truth!
I am SO SICK of those stupid stickers (double smirk to you idiots who put them on your cars!), bulletin boards and banners everywhere!
BELIEVE
What....???
Hell, they just started appearing a few years ago, and I had no idea what it was about, and certainly not where it came from! I never heard any1, including O'Malley, promote this "wise saying" slogan!
At least Schmoke had a "sensical" slogan in "the City that Reads"! LOL
Of course, we all prefer the more accurate wise slogans....
the City that Breeds
the City that Bleeds
Any more?
LOL I love the parody stickers that people have made: BEHAVE, BEEHIVE, BE EVIL.
I'm not sure where it was produced, but the "social engineers" were bragging that Baltimore's street bums of the druggie
persuasion come from "all income levels".
The other point I remember is that the street corner drug distribution is such a free-for-all, that violence is quite commonplace.
