Mayor Catherine Pugh approved $19,800 in city funds to a nonprofit she previously chaired and that lists three top members of her City Hall staff on its board of directors — another example of how her business dealings have intersected with politics.
The Maryland Center for Adult Training Inc. has received a total of $75,900 from the city since 2016 with another $20,000 pledged this fiscal year, according to Board of Estimates minutes and officials in the Mayor's Office of Employment Development. Pugh approved the $19,800 in August 2017, nine months into her tenure as mayor. Former Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake OK'd $56,100 in funding to the organization in 2016 when she was in office.
City officials, in a phone interview, said last week up to an additional $20,000 in funding had been approved for MCAT this year. The Park Heights training center enrolls disadvantaged, unemployed students for careers as nurses aides and was founded in 1998 as the Maryland Center for Arts and Technology Inc. The organization changed its name and focus in 2013.

Take a look at how many of Trumps business interests have been getting legislation passed for them and money thrown their way
We the people DEMAND ARRESTS NO Smullut case here.
10:43- instead of throwing accusations like every other idiot, why don't you come up with an example! No One Believes accusations anymore. I want the f'ing proof! Until then get a hobby you miserable moron.
Just another example of Democrats in Maryland and their crooked ways costing the tax payer. Since Baltimore is 85%-95% funded by the Maryland State tax payer then how much / little was Baltimore's share?

I agree whole heartedly. These moron on the left can't argue against the fact that their elected dumbocrat leaders are liars and corrupt to the core so they just spew out false accusations about Trump.
"Pugh stinks and is involved in massive corruption" Libtard...Uh Er, Um, Orange man bad!
