Baltimore Businesses Affected By Riots Receive Help From State

BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Nearly 50 businesses affected by last year’s riots are now getting help from the state.

Mike Schuh reports the money will be used to make their businesses look better and more secure.

The riots are a time in Baltimore history few want to revisit but businessmen like Mike Evans can’t help but think about it.

“With the different trials coming up, there’s a definite possibility of something like this happening again,” Evans said.

For 30 years, his family has run a framing shop downtown. Businesses next door had their security doors ripped off and looted.

9:56 I am thinking the same thing. Why do we the tax payers pay to help those business? Damage wasn't caused by disaster of some sort it was caused by thugs. The city of Baltimore should have to foot the bill not me or you.

You won't see many looters taking things out of a frame shop.

The state doesn't have any money it's our money they are giving away. The mayor should pay, she's the one that said "let them riot".

BAILOUT.
Get on the phone and speak your mind to your rep. This is YOUR money.

Baltimore officials enabled this riot.. let them pay for it.

I was hoping all of those stores that were burned out would open up their shops in other locations. After a while maybe these dumb@@@@@ would get the hint and stop burning stuff down especially when it is there to help them. But I guess I am giving them too much credit.

How about making the Jerks get JOBS....and pay back the damages themselves?

Why? Why should Maryland taxpayers be forced to help Baltimore City and their troubles. More entitlements for those worthless, lazy thugs.

Larry Hogan if you are behind this I hope this is your last term.
