Attendees included families affected by violence, city employees, donors and political figures like Gov Wes Moore
Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott defended more than $52,000 in taxpayer-funded spending on food, drinks and skybox use at Baltimore Orioles and Baltimore Ravens games after a City of Baltimore Inspector General’s report identified a mix of guests, including city employees, children, donors and political figures.
The report found the mayor’s office used public funds for game day expenses and suite access, prompting criticism over whether those benefits were extended to political allies and donors rather than strictly for public purposes.
One critic, taxpayer advocate David Williams, raised concerns about the presence of donors among those invited.
“When you look at the list, you see donors,” Williams said. “That sends a shiver down taxpayers’ spines because they know what’s happening is that the mayor is courting a favor with donors, with other elected officials, and this is not what people voted for.”
Every voter gets one vote.
Money from donators buys one vote.
If Baltimore voters are not happy with brandon scott spending $52,000 trying to buy votes, they can get off their lazy asses and vote him out. It actually is that simple.
