Re: Poll: Daniel Perry - Should he have been pardoned?

Baltimore has a long history of corrupt politicians. I was a resident when Major Sheila Dixon was indicted (the first and second time). After I moved to Colorado, Major Catherine Pugh was arrested and pled guilty to corruption charges surrounding self-published children's books (I'm not making this...

Re: Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse

Largest public sector unions. It is AFSCME. I don’t know who is claiming that NEA is larger. AFSCME represents all state employees below grade 13. That is a lot of employees.The teacher’s union is a mixed bag, Baltimore County is AFT, unless they have changed it in the past couple of years. (I was ...

Re: Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse

Like I said, I'm not super familiar with Maryland Senate primaries but NPR did profile this race a couple of weeks ago which I listen to while riding to work. And I looked it up to read more. It very much sounds like it was the primary voters who decided this and not some "machine". Both ...

Re: Poll: Daniel Perry - Should he have been pardoned?

Did Marlyn Mosby murder anyone in a fit of racist rage? While seeking to groom young girls online for statutory rape? Are we talking apples to apples here? From the article you linked to it appears she is guilty of two counts of fairly minor mortgage fraud. Same exact thing as Trump but on a vastly...

Re: Poll: Daniel Perry - Should he have been pardoned?

I agree that a government official (particularly one who is a lawyer) should be held to a very high standard. In contrast, Trump was a private citizen when these alleged offences occurred. I would say I've always found it strange that your mortgage lender and your county auditor don't have to agree...

Re: Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse

As opposed to the donors buying the other candidate a Senate seat? It is not so much donors as the amount of pull she got from the “machine “. If you want to know, Trone was the more “progressive “ candidate. He was simply not part of the party’s preferred demographic. Trone would have been far eas...

Re: Poll: Daniel Perry - Should he have been pardoned?

Well, of all the convicted criminals in Texas do YOU think that Daniel Perry was most deserving of a pardon? Do you think he was wrongly convicted? Do you think he has shown remorse? Let’s talk about Marlyn Mosby? Do you think she was wrongly convicted? Has she shown remorse? https://www.washington...

Re: Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse

Looks to me like he was actually trying use his liquor millions to buy himself a Senate seat and the voters weren't impressed. He dropped $61 million of his own money into the race: https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2024/05/09/maryland-senate-primary-trone-money/ As opposed to the donors buyi...
