WASHINGTON, DC: Congressman Andy Harris, M.D. (R-MD), Acting Ranking Member of the House Appropriations Agriculture Subcommittee, issued the following statement on Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott’s plan to pay squeegee kids to stop their criminal activity. Today, details of the mayor’s “Squeegee Collaborative Plan” were announced showing a shocking guaranteed income program for squeegee kids if they follow a “code of conduct to regulate themselves.” Crime has increased dramatically in Baltimore, including criminal activity related to squeegee kids, with many of the cases involving terrorizing drivers, passengers, and residents. Last week, it was reported that three squeegee kids were arrested for stealing a phone at an intersection and then transferring large sums of money from the victim to themselves via a cash app scam. This comes on the heels of reports of several attempted murder and assault cases involving squeegee kids in Baltimore City.
Statement from Congressman Harris:
“Now we know why the mayor delayed his announcement until after the election–because Democrats plan to reward criminal behavior with hard-earned taxpayer dollars. Being in the new majority on the House Appropriations committee, I’ll do everything in my power to make sure that not a single federal dime goes to this program that rewards criminal activity. Clearly, Baltimore City has too much money on its hands as a result of the wasteful spending bills passed by the Biden Administration and the Pelosi House majority. We will never be able to restore law and order if we reward criminal activity – whether it’s on the streets of Baltimore or at the open southern border. Shamefully, Baltimore leadership not only defunds and demoralizes the police, but they are now starting to reward criminal activity with hard-earned taxpayer dollars.”
What!?!?!?!? No gift cards left from Sheila?
We now know where the money the ROGUE REPUBLICAN COMRADE HOGAN kept giving the corrupt BALTIMORE. This fake REPUBLICAN will never win another election unless he gets all DEMON DEMOCRATS vote him in. COMRADE HOGAN supports all DEMON DEMOCRAT POLICIES. COMRADE HOGAN even pressed for the DEMON DEMOCRAT to win MD GOVERNOR. TAX MARYLANDERSS to death to pay criminals to commit crimes. All money given to this program should be returned to the TAX PAYERS ASAP. All these Politians that drew up and passed this program / legislation should be investigated and charged for misappropriation’s of tax dollars including COMRADE HOGAN sent to prison and made to pay back all money spent and in this program with 25% interest within 12 months in full no exceptions and / or 1year in prison for every $1000 dollars spent on this program and that is still in that fund. No exceptions or parole.
Where is the new GOVERNOR going to do about this. Will he continue this embezzlement for political gain or raise the tax base. All we can do now is THANK COMRADE HOGAN for royally SCREWING OVER MD TAX PAYERS
NO way! You mean they will pay these thugs not to break the law? These low lifes should be locked up, not paid to behave, If I behave, will I get paid too? Thank you, Andy Harris, for bringing this to our attention. This just cannot be for real! I have never heard of anything so disgusting. Only in Balmer, Hon.
You complainers probably didn’t notice that the OC Mayor just slid into hi 8th consecutive term. How can that happen????
I’m more worried about the criminal activity in annapolis and washington. Those stinkin politicians on both sides have done more damage and stolen a hell of a lot more from us then an squeegee kid! Andy stop handing our our tax dollars for every pos idea that comes down the pike.
