Baltimore Is Spending $66M in Federal Grants This Year

Baltimore Mayor Bernard “Jack” Young (D) said Monday that President Donald Trump should send federal assistance to the troubled Maryland city instead of criticizing its management — though the mayor’s budget is already spending $66 million in federal grants this year alone.

“If he really wants to, he needs to send us the federal assistance — not only to Baltimore, to cities around this country that are in the same situation that Baltimore is in — but he’s so interested in childish tweets,” Young (pictured) said in an interview with CNN New Dayco-host John Berman.

Young’s remarks follow a string of fierce criticisms from President Donald Trump directed at Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD), whose district encompasses Baltimore. Over the weekend, the president blasted the 13-term congressman for the Maryland city’s worsening conditions, calling it a “disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess” and a “very dangerous & filthy place.” He also said conditions in the city are “far worse” and than those at the U.S.-Mexico border detention centers.

With every Federal Grant there are monitoring procedures and reporting. Problem is if the grantee is left to self report you can say anything. The Feds need boots on the ground like the state does to monitor the money. I am totally for smaller government and regulations but this position is a must if we keep giving grants out. Otherwise you get Baltimore.

Department of Housing and Urban Development regional administrator Lynne Patton appeared Monday on Fox News and took note of just how much federal money has been steered into Cummings’ district, which is nearly 53% percent black.

“President Trump has given $16 billion in 2018 alone to Elijah Cummings’ district in federal grants,” Patton explained. “We have given more money in homeless funds to Baltimore than the last administration. We have given more money in ‘community development grants.'”

They played God Bless America to open Tuesday nights debate. Tim Ryan was the only one who didn't put his hand over his heart. Jokesters said his hands were covering what he thought was important, the family jewels.
