A State Police spokesman says the Maryland Emergency Management Agency reimbursed the State Police for $1.3 million.

Send the bill to city hall care of Mayor Blake

Exactly right - make the Mayor pay. The police should have stopped the riot immediately - no question ! They should have all been arrested, the Guard called immediately, and peace restored. The police were ready but were given orders to stand down. Who does that !!!

Make the media pay for it.

Tax payers shouldn't have to foot the bill. While I feel a wee bit sorry for the businesses that were damaged when you make the choice to open a business in or near the ghetto, stuff happens. It's not if it's going to happen it's when will it happen. Ghetto people have no respect for anything including themselves. If they aren't the ones actually crapping up their own nests, they have excuses for the ones doing the crapping like they are oppressed or frustrated or angry.

I agree with some of these comments; as a taxpayer, I don't feel I should have to pay for the errors of the mayor of Baltimore. The total expense falls squarely on the shoulders of the Mayor of Baltimore and all her groupies. She called for the thugs to burn and loot so she is responsible for the outcome no one else.
