When
Baltimore City Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake heads on a California
vacation this summer, it will cost taxpayers $2,000 so her personal
police detail can accompany her and her family. The money was approved by the Baltimore City Board of Estimates at its meeting Wednesday.
Even though the vacation is ‘personal,’ she will get to take her detail.
“That’s a decision that’s made by the police department,” she told WBAL-TV 11 News. More
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness!
I'd go and pay my own way!
That's cheap!
ReplyDeleteMichele O would cost taxpayers over 2 MILLION for a similar trip ...
Oh gezzzz don't let Ireton see this he will want police to escort him to Rehoboth beach on the weekends.

ReplyDeleteRehoboth beach? I heard something about that area I think.
What a nonsensical smokescreen!
ReplyDeleteThey must be using the same calculator Ireton, Hoppes, et al used for their grant calculations.
If a Baltimore cop makes 52K, that is $1,000 per week, or $200 per day. Taking her "detail" implies more than one officer. So how long does she plan to be away? Do the math.
Are they hitch-hiking to California or traveling by air?
Staying at a homeless shelter in CA, or at the same lodgings as the mayor?
Dumpster diving for vittles, or eating proximate to the mayor?
Etc, etc, etc. From the same school of accounting as O'Malley.
Disgusting!
Why is it when black politicians get elected they think they're Royalty?
ReplyDeleteThat's not fair Baltimore gets her We get Ireton!
ReplyDeleteWho in the hell would have any reason for harming or whatever the Mayor of Baltimore??????????
ReplyDeleteObviously, the police are hyper-paranoid. They are taking the lead in this whole affair. If there was a serious threat, they would not publicize the whole mess to begin with.
ReplyDeleteWho would even recognize her in California? Unless she makes a big splash and hypes her status! With Security!
So she can get the respect she deserves of course.
Why?
ReplyDeleteJust another government empowered person taking advantage of the taxpayer. One would think the governor wouldn't want any taxpayer money wasted but again if it's not him, he doesn't care. She isn't important, and should pay the bill herself. I bet if she had to pay,she'd be calling Ireton for the location of the best place to run on the beach in Rehoboth!

ReplyDeleteShe can beat on me and make me write bad checks!
Stop hating, Haters!
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with Jack Richards on this one I mean no kidnapper who had any sense at all would know Baltimore couldn't pay ransom over $500.00 without bouncing the check!
