How stupid can they get . Who is going to pay for the housing when the people move out of Baltimore except for the low or no income people? Let me see here now , this guy Bill Henry is clueless .
Bill Henry : A Democrat , an African American , A racist idiot , and has keep the blacks at the level he wants "in the gutter".
They are ALWAYS looking for new "revenue streams". Making something up if necessary. They WILL NOT STOP.
Increase taxes, fines, fees, surcharges. And increase their armed security staff.
March them outside. Keep poking them in the back, hard.
Throw the rope around their neck and lift them off the ground. Increase the height.
That's the only increase we need to cheer.
