What has become a full-blown political scandal in Baltimore started innocently enough. In fact, it began with a children’s book.
Mayor Catherine Pugh, a fitness fanatic, said that about a decade ago, she was inspired to encourage children to pursue healthy lifestyles, and so she created the “Healthy Holly” series of books, about a little girl devoted to self-improvement and the betterment of those around her.
At the time, Ms. Pugh, a Democrat, was a state senator who sat on the board of one of the state’s largest nonprofit health care companies. In what seemed like a happy ending, she struck a deal to sell 100,000 copies of the books to the company for $500,000.
But now, the arrangement has become public, raising questions not only about the propriety of the arrangement, but also about just how many children had access to the books.

She is black so it doesn't matter . Black privilege
Where are the rest of the 100,000 books? Check the city incinerator records.
This is the kind of a scam the Pelosi's daddy would have loved.
