City Attorney Investigates Mayor Voting On Deals With Husband’s Employer

BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Some controversial votes are putting the mayor of Baltimore on the defensive.
Vic Carter reports on the potential ethics violations.

Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake reportedly voted to approve more than $900,000 in deals with Johns Hopkins, which employees her husband. But the mayor tells WJZ’s media partner, the Baltimore Sun, she did not vote on deals directly involving her husband’s unit — Johns Hopkins Community Physicians.

This reminds me of Tilghman and Dunn.

Well, "not DIRECTLY" solves he problem, doesn't it? They (politicians) actually believe that these semantic games get them off the hook. Sad thing is, it usually does. Keep voting. Make yourself feel good about things.
