I Will Name Names
Adam Meister - Baltimore Politics Examiner
I am just going to jump right in to things. In Baltimore we have a government that says it is for safe streets and against nuisances. For the last few weeks many dedicated people living in Reservoir Hill have spent a lot of time trying to get the liquor license removed from an establishment that has haunted the area for thirty years. Back in September this establishment was covered with political signs for every major candidate for Mayor and candidates for others positions. By allowing your name to be placed on something you are giving it your endorsement. Ever wonder why we can't seem to get rid of nuisance establishments? Check one out around Baltimore City election season and you will see why.There has been a lot of talk about change lately in the national media. In the Baltimore political system change is something that will only be attained when we stop electing members of the ruling junta that got us in to this situation long ago.
There I said it.
This blog is not going to be a pretty promo for Baltimore. I am not going to clean things up to make it seem like life is dandy here.
I will name names. The time has finally come.
