Catherine Pugh campaign blames misunderstanding for upset Baltimore workers

Some Baltimore residents who expected to work for state Sen. Catherine Pugh’s mayoral campaign Tuesday instead damaged vehicles outside of her campaign headquarters after being told there were no jobs available.

A spokesman for Pugh’s campaign called it a misunderstanding. Anthony McCarthy, the spokesman, said Pugh decided “they will be paid” regardless.

A crowd of about 100 people lined the block outside Sandi’s Learning Center on North Ellamont Street, many of them saying they were promised election day jobs.

About a dozen police officers were on the scene and two security guards were at the door. Police said they responded for a report of property destruction.

The front windshield of a van had been smashed and tires were slashed. On another van, the driver’s side window had been broken.

Mecca Wakil, 31, a hair stylist, rearranged clients to make an extra $100 to work for the Pugh campaign Tuesday. But when she and others arrived around 5 a.m., she said all of the jobs were taken.

All this crap for a hundred bucks?.........................

She’s going to pay these thugs, anyway, after they trashed her van.

Sounds like protection money.

The police should have stayed away.

My thoughts exactly.

Gee, they sound like model citizens. I’m sure they can get some nice-paying jobs somewhere else. #thuglife

Sadly, it’s probably going to come down to her or Sheila Dixon, a former Mayor who was convicted and thrown out of office with a post conviction plea bargain (Yep, you read that right) that kept her out of jail.

Her crime? Stealing gift cards meant for poor kids and using the money on herself.

The candidate in third place sounds highly competent, so naturally she has no chance in the Democrat Wonderland.
