Baltimore Mayor, Maryland Governor Disagree On How To Deter City Violence
With an uptick in crime in Baltimore, the mayor and governor sparred in a war of words.
BALTIMORE, MD — A war of words was brewing between Governor Larry Hogan and Baltimore City Mayor Brandon Scott Tuesday over how to deal with the city’s crime and violence. It comes on the heels of a disturbing attack on two Korean women in their West Baltimore store.
Hogan said he’s outraged over the brutal attack and has a loose connection with the two victims. “It’s just another example of this violent outburst and attacks on Asians all across the country,” said Hogan. “My youngest daughter Julie, who lives in Ann Arbor, Michigan… a guy who I know well, her good friend she went to school with who’s from the Baltimore area, his best buddy was the mom and the aunt.”
