Baltimore priorities

Call me crazy, but doesn’t it make more sense to make sure the Baltimore City Police have a helicopter to help reduce crime on the West Side before we try to make it a new Arts District?  How many redevelopment tries have failed over there in recent years?

City Hall and the City Council need to get their priorities straight.  I’m still hopeful the Sun will report on all the items in the budget, so we can all see what the Mayor thinks is more important than the police helicopter and firefighters; until then we’ll just have to pick up on stories like this one, which show a pretty clear gap between the priorities of the people of Baltimore and the politicians of Baltimore.
