Tom Moore: Live entertainment panel makes sense for Baltimore
- City Council President Stephanie Rawlings-Blake’s proposal to create a panel to give out live entertainment licenses is the perfect elixir to cure a broken system in Baltimore.
Tom Moore: Why people can’t stand the state sometimes
- Maryland's tourist brochures paint quite the picture of the state: Flowing green landscapes and rippling oceans vast and blue and historic towns friendly and quaint. The outsider might see Maryland as the perfect model of tranquility in a troubled and disorganized world.
Tom Moore: Time to support civil unions
- Marylanders and our representatives in Annapolis have long agonized over whether to permit gay marriage.
Tom Moore: The homeless we see but don’t see
- You see it when you drive by St. Vincent DePaul Roman Catholic Church on Fayette Street: The leper colony.

Tom Moore: Time for council action on our parking, traffic and towing laws
- Have you laid a wreath in Baltimore’s car graveyard lately? Perhaps it is a holiday wreath; perhaps it is for your car, your neighbor’s car or a friend’s car.
Tom Moore: Schaefer: The lion in winter
- Maryland’s greatest politician since Revolutionary figure Samuel Chase is finally slowing down. The lion known as William Donald Schaefer is in the winter of life.
Tom Moore: Why Maryland needs slots
- I support slots whole-heartedly. Part of it is due to my grandfather. When I was growing up, my mother would take my brother and I to her parents’ Civil War-era farmhouse in Warrenton, Va., to see Grandad.
Tom Moore: Defending Bill O’Reilly
- The Rev. Al Sharpton is at it again — this time attacking Bill O’Reilly, a Fox News talk show host who took him out to dinner.
Tom Moore: Community theater deserves reviews from community
- The Baltimore Sun’s decision to stop reviewing community theater not only sends a message to actors, directors and crew that their work is no longer valued, it sends the same harmful message to theater-patrons.
Moore: What Baltimore City needs is zero tolerance policing
- Interim Mayor Sheila Dixon’s refusal to switch to a zero tolerance policing plan is nearly as inexplicable as City Councilman Keiffer Mitchell’s hesitancy to fully support the policy. Mitchell, the candidate considered by many as having the best chance to unseat Dixon, said he’s “looking at” whether to reinstitute zero tolerance as the best means of fighting crime in Baltimore City.
Tom Moore: Out of control murder rate shows Dixon unfit to lead
- Voters on Sept. 11 must hold Mayor Sheila Dixon accountable for the dramatic increase in Baltimore’s homicide numbers and put one of the other leading candidates on the job instead.
Tom Moore: Enforce new gang laws — and hire more police to do it
- The Maryland General Assembly passed a new law designed to help the state better prosecute gang members who engage in violent crimes. But whether local law enforcement officials will be able to support the cause, or even have the manpower to do so, is unclear.

Tom Moore: The city needs an open dialogue on race
- The “n-word”: Far too many people of all races say it. Many young African Americans in Baltimore neighborhoods regularly use a derivation of the word as a term of affection.
