Baltimore’s Democratic mayor has sparked fresh controversy after joking that he keeps his government email account empty to prevent anyone from accessing his messages.
Mayor Brandon Scott, 42, is already embroiled in a bitter legal battle over public records so eyebrows were raised when he appeared to suggest the best way to protect official communications from scrutiny was simply not to send any emails in the first place.
His remark came during an October 21 meeting of Baltimore’s Board of Estimates, where officials were discussing the security of government computer systems and who should have access to sensitive information.
So if you’re trying to hide something, don’t announce it. Smart. However when you are in public office everything you do are say should be scrutinized.
He’s about as qualified to be mayor as a dog named Booo!!! I guess he’s the best Baltimore could come up with .What a damn shame.
There are only 2 qualifications to be mayor of Baltimore. 😉
