Let's not introduce more business-quashing rules right after we changed our slogan to "we're open for business"!
Stupid Baltimore lawmakers! The people there continue to drive everyone out that has money left in their wallet and this will just add to that. It won't belong before criminals give up on Baltimore for becoming a city made up of empty wallets. This will do to the city what Amazon did to to shoplifters at Walmart.
Maybe they can ask Obama to send them to Syria for a better opportunity.
Let the thugs open there own stores ?
Libtardism is a cancer in this country. Most democrats have this ailment along with a rectal inversion problem.
15 an hour is way too much to pay the mayor and the DA! What are they thinking? They really want to deteriorate, don't they?
Hey Baltimore why not raise it to $27.50? Might as well run all business out of the "charm city".
