Baltimore City Responds After Dozens Of Businesses Threaten Not To Pay Taxes
https://www.nationandstate.com/2021/06/1...t-to-pay-taxes/


This weekend, the Baltimore Police Department (BPD) closed down multiple city streets around the Inner Harbor, in a stretch called “Fells Point,” after dozens of local businesses threatened the new city government, run by Mayor Brandon Scott, to not pay taxes because they’re “fed up and frustrated” with the outburst of violence.

Last week, 37 restaurants and small businesses sent a letter to the mayor’s office titled “Letter to City Leaders From Fells Point Business Leaders.” They threatened to stop paying city taxes and other fees until “basic and essential municipal services are restored.” This comes as Madam State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby halted petty crimes during the pandemic and made such a measure permanent – the idea was to decrease violent crime, but that seems to have severely backfired.

What’s happened in the historic bar strict is absolute mayhem at night, transformed into a dangerous area where violent and rowdy crowds have ruined the once pleasant atmosphere along with multiple shootings.

So this weekend, BPD closed down streets around Fells Point, which includes parts of Aliceanna, Thames, and Bond streets.-- excerpt, rest at link above --

Guilty: Former Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby Convicted of Perjury

Left-wing former Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby was convicted Thursday regarding perjury charges.

Responding to reporters’ questions as she left the courthouse, all Mosby said was, “I’m blessed. I have nothing else to say,” according to WBAL-TV.

The United States Attorney’s Office District of Maryland made the announcement on Thursday:

A federal jury today convicted Marilyn J. Mosby, age 42, of Baltimore, Maryland, on federal charges of perjury, relating to the withdrawal of funds from the City of Baltimore’s Deferred Compensation Plan claiming that she suffered adverse financial consequences during the COVID-19 pandemic when she was Baltimore City State’s Attorney.

…

According to the evidence presented at trial, on May 26, 2020 and December 29, 2020, Mosby submitted “457(b) Coronavirus-Related Distribution Requests” for one-time withdrawals of $40,000 and $50,000, respectively, from City of Baltimore’s Deferred Compensation Plan. Trial evidence proved that Mosby falsely certified that she met at least one of the qualifications for a distribution as defined under the CARES Act, specifically, that she experienced adverse financial consequences from the Coronavirus as a result of being quarantined, furloughed, or laid off; having reduced work hours; being unable to work due to lack of childcare; or the closing or reduction of hours of a business she owned or operated. In signing the forms, Mosby “affirm[ed] under penalties for perjury the statements and acknowledgments made in this request.” As proven at trial, Mosby did not experience any such financial hardships and in fact, Mosby received her full gross salary of $247,955.58 from January 1, 2020 through December 29, 2020, in bi-weekly gross pay direct deposits of $9,183.54.

Mosby was indicted in January 2022 on federal charges for fraudulent mortgage applications on homes in Florida, Breitbart News noted. Those charges are still pending and a trial has not yet been scheduled, per the U.S. Attorney’s Office announcement.

Mosby drew the public’s attention in 2015 while prosecuting six police officers in the death of Freddy Gray while he was in custody.
