Former Baltimore mayor Catherine Pugh pleads guilty to perjury charge

Disgraced former Baltimore mayor Catherine Pugh pleaded guilty to a state perjury charge Friday for failing to disclose a business interest relating to her Healthy Holly children's books on her financial disclosure forms when she was a Maryland senator.

Pugh, a 70-year-old Democrat, was previously sentenced to three years in federal prison and three years probation for netting hundreds of thousands of dollars in the self-dealing scandal over the self-published books, which center around an African-American girl who promotes exercise and healthy eating.

Authorities said Pugh earned about $800,000 from the sale of the books - at least $345,000 in income in 2016 alone - but failed to mention her ownership in financial disclosure forms while she was a state senator.

She is just a small fish in a huge pond of money funnelers. That is why the defund the police to give it to some other agency is so dumb. Pennies out of the dollars will actually be seen in the communities. Most will go to the well connected donors of the areas politicians. The contractors will get richer and donate more to politicians is how it works. Now a days politicians have constant campaign staff to pay since they've made careers out of politics Not the way its supposed to be.

If they keep sending POC politicians to jail, will they have to resort to American representation?

she will be released and the reason will be given as Covid. She will be released just as thousands were because of the spread of covid 19. She should be made to return all of the money and kept in prison.
