The fact that it took this long for him to realize is concerning. Especially since it’s likely the money is the reason.

Where will you be working? What's your budget to spend on a house? Do you prefer a more urban, suburban, or rural environment? There are plenty of family-friendly neighborhoods with decent schools in the area - a little more information will help narrow things down.

This would make sense in a city and state totally bereft of funds to support its own infrastructure, maybe, and even then it would be horrificially shortsighted.

Baltimore and Maryland are honestly awash in cash. The city claims to have no money but that is after they earmark over a billion dollars for the schools and the cops. In truth priorities are just horribly misaligned, and selling off public infrastructure for what amounts to a drop in a bucket of corruption is just throwing away the cities future.

The conduit division is underfunded and understaffed not because there is no money left, but because politicians deprioritized it. How about we fund the conduit division and actually build a fiber network so we can get off fucking Comcast.

I have no problems parking! And once ai get a good spot I can leave my car for days and walk to everything I need!

It feels like they are trying to guilt you into being OK with it and then having to tip on top of it. I don't mind when places add a mandatory tip to the check because I would have tipped that amount anyway, but this is... interesting.

And a mandatory 23% service charge, none of which goes directly to your server.

“*A 23% service fee will be added to your check. The restaurant distributes those funds to all employees in the form of wages and benefits, creating equity and consistency for both our kitchen and dining room staff. You are welcome to add additional gratuity for the service staff.”

No creepy comments about the women this time, good job /r/baltimore!

I think the plan is for the city to just own the fiber infrastructure and lease it to ISPs.

It's amazing to see how the city bus drivers make those turns within inches of parked cars... the street parking in Hampden is hazardous - it should be car free but of course not...

> The bill arrives with a 23 percent service charge added, and the explanation that it’s “used to provide equitable, consistent wages and benefits for all employees.” I like not having to do math after a meal, and I appreciate seeing people paid for jobs well done.

I really think it's dishonest to not mention the wage theft. It's documented, just mention it. When some own/manger gives comments about benefiting employees, you got to note that "he is accused of stealing money from employees"

I know exactly how reddit works, but for someone whose screen name is "Baltnerdist," to not even have basic knowledge of Mosby (hell, both Mosbys), I find it to be obnoxious.

Maybe instead, you Google a bit, get your basic facts lined up and ask questions, like, "How the hell did it take this long for them to get charged?" or, "Why/how do they keep getting elected?" (Which are coincidentally questions I think a lot of us still have.)

It has absolutely nothing to do with how reddit works. It's more about how you chose to post. And if folks disagree with me, then fine. But that's my take.

I could care less about Spike Gjerde but am otherwise happy Baltimore locations continue to be featured by Tom Sietsema in WaPo.

Do you know how reddit works? People ask questions all the time that are solved with a Google search, but we bring them here for the discussion, the context, the story.

She did some perjury as well as lying about taxes, etc to get money from her retirement account early*. She then used this money to buy housing in Florida and was later caught lying so she is being federally indicted.

After that, she lost re-lection (Finished third in a three man race). Before she was forced out of office, she was given a victory tour by her husband in the city council to celebrate her "outstanding service."

She is now preparing for her trial which has been delayed several times. Her entire legal team is trying to get out of the trial with the main lawyer saying he will not be able to defend her since he has to defend himself as well. The prosecution team is agitated and working to force them all to stay on her team so the trial can go forward on the scheduled time.

Edit: I missed the most recent news. Judge allowed her entire team to bail due to conflict of interest. This article gives a much more detailed timeline than my post, you should read that.

Edit 2: Wasn't COVID bailout money, she just used COVID as an excuse to get other money.

Cops aren't here to help me but they are here to disrupt drug dealers. I am all for that.

Fishhead Cantina seems to have switched to mostly cover bands since Covid.

I love that you do this, but it lowkey makes me sad that there is so much crap in the harbor you can do this every week.

That's another thing I don't have to imagine about--I know and speak to my neighbors, and have looked around this comment section. Opinions about the idea are mixed at best.

They will do even more nothing than the cops

THERE IT IS 👍🏼

Right. You are one person. I am asking you to for one second imagine what other people might think.

I don't have to imagine because I am who you're speculating about--a person who couldn't live much closer to Wine Source, telling you what doesn't in fact thrill me.
