Missing the Point – Baltimore City Mayor Scott’s anti-crime program

January 18, 2023January 18, 2023 Les Cohen 557 Views

In 2021, Homicides and non-fatal shootings in Baltimore’s Western District totaled 168, then 111 in 2022 down 34%.  These numbers support the claim the Mayor makes in his tweet, but let’s look at the data – for all nine Police Districts – from a less politically prejudiced point of view.

Missing the Point – The problem with major party caucuses

January 4, 2023January 5, 2023 Les Cohen 650 Views
