Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott joins Midday to discuss his policy plans for the city's biggest challenges. We ask Scott about decreases in violent crime and car thefts. What is working, according to the mayor, and where is there room for improvement? Plus, are city agencies doing enough to prepare and train city workers? On Friday afternoon, solid waste worker Ronald Silver II was finishing his collection route when he collapsed and then later died. According to reporting from WYPR's Emily Hofstaedter, the Baltimore Office of the Medical Examiner has confirmed that Silver died of hyperthermia, colloquially known as heat sickness, which happens when the body's temperature climbs too high. Scott regularly joins the program to discuss the latest from city government, though the interview series was suspended during the Democratic primary. After winning his party's nomination, the Mayor does have an opponent in the general election, Republican Shannon Wright. Wright is not actively campaigning for Mayor, save for a couple of Facebook posts. She does not have a functional campaign website or a staff, and she has signed an affidavit stating she does not intend to spend or raise any money before the November election. Wright joined Midday's “Conversations with the Candidates” series earlier this summer. (Photo by Kaitlin Newman)Email us at midday@wypr.org, tweet us: @MiddayWYPR, or call us at 410-662-8780.

After several weeks of a careful pressure campaign by top Democrat party figures, including former President Barack Obama and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, President Joe Biden announced he would stand aside and allow another Democrat to lead the ticket. Democratic members of Congress, past and present, had voiced concerns over Biden's ability to beat Republican challenger and former President Donald Trump in the 2024 elections, just months away. Leaders in Maryland's Democratic party announced their support for Biden's decision, and many endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as their pick for the party's presidential nominee. Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott said Biden is one of the most accomplished presidents of his lifetime, and called Harris the right pick going forward. "Black women have saved this country time and time again," Scott wrote on X. "For that reason and a hundred others, there is no other — or better — option than the Vice President to unite our party and win in November." Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott joins Midday, as does Democratic State Sen. Jim Rosapepe.

It's Thursday, April 4th, A.D. 2024. This is The World View in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Nigerian Muslims killed four Christians On Monday, the day after Resurrection Sunday, Muslim attackers killed four Christians in northern Nigeria, One pastor told International Christian Concern, “Fulani [militias] are killing Christians in Bokkos. … Attacks by [radical] Fulani have been going on for a long time and they don't want Christians in Nigeria. Pray for us because we will never give up our faith in Christ Jesus and we will forgive them for they don't know what they are doing.” (Luke 23:45, Acts 7:60) Revelation 12:11 says, “And they overcame [the devil] by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.” Local residents also said the Nigerian army does nothing to protect them as the attacks continue.  Nigeria is the sixth most dangerous country to be a Christian according to the Open Doors World Watch List. Taiwan's 7.4-magnitude earthquake A 7.4 magnitude earthquake hit Taiwan yesterday.  The quake killed at least nine people and injured at least 900 more. Over 150 people are trapped It's the strongest quake to hit Taiwan in 25 years. The previous 7.7-magnitude earthquake of 1999 caused over 2,000 deaths. Ukrainian pastor: The Russian war has increased church attendance CBN News reports that churches in Ukraine continue to grow since Russia invaded the country in 2022. Pastor Oleh Derkanchenko of Antonivka Kherson Church said they face constant shelling. However, attendance has grown from 100 people to as many as 700. In addition, Pastor Andrii Skantsev of the Church of Jesus Christ in Kherson shared a similar testimony.  SKANTSEV: “Before the war about 150 people attended the church. But after the start of the war, two or three times more people started attending the church, some got baptized, converted to Christianity. We had twice or thrice the amount of people who got baptized during the war.” Trump leads Biden in key swing states Meanwhile in the U.S., former President Donald Trump is leading President Joe Biden in several key swing states ahead of November's presidential election. A Wall Street Journal poll found that Trump led Biden between 2 and 8 percentage points in North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Nevada, Michigan, Georgia, and Arizona. Biden only led in Wisconsin. The polls revealed Trump's lead both in a head-to-head matchup with Biden and separate polls which included Trump, Biden and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., the independent. Trump: November 5th will be Christian Visibility Day Speaking of Trump, the former president told supporters on Tuesday that Election Day, November 5th, 2024, would be “Christian Visibility Day.” This comes after President Joe Biden declared a “Transgender Day of Visibility” which fell on Resurrection Sunday this year. TRUMP: “Such total disrespect to Christians. November 5th, [the day of the election, is going to be called something else. You know what it's going to be called? Christian Visibility Day when Christians turn now. Let's call it Christian Visibility Day, alright?” What Americans agree upon Despite much political polarization, U.S. adults agree on several issues, according to a new Associated Press-National Opinion Research Center poll. Over 90% of Americans say equal protection under the law, the right to vote, and freedom of speech are very important to U.S. identity. Over 80% said the right to privacy, freedom of religion, and the right to assemble peacefully are very important. Majorities also said freedom of the press and the right to keep and bear arms are very important.  Maryland leaders calling for prayer after cargo ship crash/bridge collapse Leaders in Maryland are calling for prayer after the tragic collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge last Tuesday. A cargo ship crashed into the bridge after departing the Port of Baltimore, leaving six people presumably dead. Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott invited people to join him and leaders across the city by attending a prayer vigil at Mt. Olive Baptist Church.  SCOTT: “This is a unthinkable a tragedy we have to first and foremost pray for all of those who are impacted those families pray for our First Responders.” Baltimore County Executive Johnny Olszewski and Maryland Democratic Governor Wes Moore also encouraged prayer. Cicada avalanche: Their numbers haven't been this big since 1803! And finally, this year is being called the year of the cicada. One brood of the red-eyed periodical insect emerges every 13 years. Another brood emerges every 17 years. This year they are set to coincide across multiple states. The last time this happened was in 1803 when Thomas Jefferson was president. It's not expected to happen again until 2245. Trillions of cicadas are expected to emerge in the coming months. When appearing in such numbers, their collective chorus can be as loud as jet engines! Genesis 1:25 says, “And God made the beast of the Earth according to its kind, cattle according to its kind, and everything that creeps on the Earth according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.” Close And that's The Worldview in 5 Minutes on this Thursday, April 4th in the year of our Lord 2024. Subscribe by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

President Joe Biden is scheduled to head to Baltimore on Friday to visit the site of the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge. During the press briefing, Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre gave a preview of the trip. "Meet with state and local officials and get on the ground. Look at federal response efforts. President Biden and his team are working with Governor Moore, the congressional delegation, Mayor Scott and numerous state and and local officials to reopen the port, rebuild the bridge, and support the people of Baltimore. The Chesapeake 1000 arrived Thursday night, and on Saturday, the unified command successfully removed the first piece of wreckage." In a separate news conference, Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott assured residents that the rebuild would come with integrity. "And the most important thing that each and every one of us can understand is that we will do it quickly, but the right and safe way every single day until we get this channel back open. Baltimore will recover. It will be long. It will be likely a very hard road." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

State and federal officials have confirmed there is an active search and rescue effort in Baltimore after a cargo ship struck a bridge, causing it to collapse. Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott joins to provide updates as crews search for six missing people.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In a heartrending incident in the early hours of a Tuesday, the iconic Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore suffered a calamitous collapse. A large container vessel that had suddenly lost power rammed into a support pillar, leading to a catastrophic failure of the structure and plunging both people and vehicles into the cold depths of the Patapsco River, according to officials. The ship in question, a Singapore-flagged container vessel named the 'Dali', was under the operation of the charter company Synergy Group, and was carrying cargo for Maersk customers at the time of the incident. In a puzzling turn of events, the ship lost power instantly prior to impacting the bridge. The exact cause that led to the vessel's power failure remains enigmatic. Paul Wiedefeld, the Secretary of Maryland's Department of Transportation, conducted a mid-morning press briefing with a somber countenance. During the update, he informed the media that six individuals, all members of a construction team performing pothole repairs on the bridge, were still unaccounted for. Their colleagues, two workers who had also toppled into the water, were fortunately saved by the tireless efforts of rescue workers. On one hand, a worker was fortunate enough to escape the calamity unscathed. On the other, his colleague was transferred to the University of Maryland Medical Center in a critical condition. Currently being treated, the individual is yet to provide their statement to investigators due to the severity of his injuries. In light of the grievous event, Wes Moore, the Governor of Maryland, officially declared a state of emergency. The Governor assured that his administration was vigilantly collaborating with various agencies to fast-track deployment of Federal aid from the Biden administration during this trying time. He expressed gratitude to the intrepid men and women tirelessly working on rescue missions and extended his prayers for the safety of all. Details unraveled that a distress call took place in the wee hours of the day, around 1:30 a.m., with emergency phone lines lighting up with reports of a vessel colliding with the bridge. The exact number of vehicles on the structure during the disastrous event is still uncertain, but reports suggest the presence of a significant tractor-trailer on the facility. Kevin Cartwright, the communications director for the fire department, classified the unfortunate incident as a 'mass casualty event'. Drawing a grave picture of the situation, he described some of the ship's cargo still hanging precariously from the damaged bridge. In response to the distress signals, emergency protocols were quickly put into action. Preemptive measures, including the halting traffic to the bridge, were taken based on the received mayday call. Wes Moore and Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott jointly affirm that these judicious decisions saved numerous lives that fateful night. Amid catastrophic circumstances, speculations about potential terrorist involvement demanded official resources. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) conducted an on-scene assessment to rule out any links to terrorism. William DelBagno, the special agent-in-charge at the FBI's Baltimore office, dismissed any allegations tying the calamitous bridge collapse to terrorist activities. On the flip side, the National Transportation Security Board has been proactive in its response. The Security Board dispatched a team to meticulously scan the scene of the accident and investigate the incident thoroughly. While recovery efforts continue, Baltimore's Mayor has called for prayers and gratitude for the first responders, the affected families, and those entangled in the ongoing efforts. The impact of the collapse echoed through the surrounding area, with a local Baltimore resident comparing the rumble to an earthquake or a powerful thunderclap. This event has significantly hampered the operations of the Baltimore Port - a critical junction for East Coast shipping. Consequently, shipping to and from Baltimore has been temporarily suspended. Named posthumously after the composer of 'The Star-Spangled Banner', the Francis Scott Key Bridge, established in 1977, served as a frequent passage for approximately 31,000 commuters daily. The four-lane span catered to a bustling flow of traffic, and its absence is expected to result in a significant shift in local transportation dynamics. Governor Moore has declared it premature to predict the timeframe required to restore the bridge and resume regular operations. In the aftermath of the tragic incident, Pete Buttigieg, the U.S. Transportation Secretary, publicly announced his support. He confirmed having engaged in communications with Governor Moore and Mayor Scott, extending the aid of the U.S. Department of Transportation as rescuing efforts persist. He further urged motorists in the Baltimore area to heed local advisories on alternatives and response procedures.

A container ship rammed into a major bridge in Baltimore early Tuesday, causing it to snap and plunge into the river below. Several vehicles fell into the chilly waters, and rescuers searched for survivors.It was also not clear what caused the cargo ship to crash into the Francis Scott Key Bridge long before the busy morning commute in what one official called a “developing mass casualty event” in a major American city just outside of Washington. Two people were rescued, and it was not clear how many more might be in the water.“Never would you think that you would see, physically see, the Key Bridge tumble down like that. It looked like something out of an action movie,” said Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott, calling it “an unthinkable tragedy."Latest: https://www.wcnc.com/article/news/nation-world/cargo-ship-baltimore-bridge-collapse/507-84daf3b8-83d7-4365-9968-388679d1ab8f Watch WCNC Charlotte each weekday morning from 4:30 to 7 a.m.WCNC Charlotte To Go is a daily news and weather podcast you can listen to so you can start your day with the team at WCNC Charlotte.  SUBSCRIBE: Apple Podcasts || Spotify || Pandora || TuneIn || Google Podcasts || iHeartAll of WCNC Charlotte's podcasts are free and available for both streaming and download.

Tom's first guest today is Shamiah T. Kerney, the Chief Recovery Officer in the Mayor's Office of Recovery Programs, an office set up by Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott to oversee the distribution of the $641 million dollars of funds allocated for the city from the 2021 American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). President Biden signed the ARPA measure into law in March of 2021, with the aim of helping communities across the nation speed their recovery from the dislocations caused by the COVID pandemic. The city's Office of Recovery Programs was established in July of that year. The first announcements about which agencies and organizations would be receiving the funds were made last fall. The city has until the end of 2024 to finish designating who gets the ARPA money, and until the end of 2026 to spend it. Mayor Scott has allocated funds to 28 different project categories, such as digital and phyiscal infrastructure, housing, violence intervention, COVID-19 response, homeless services and projects that are listed as "pending." Shemiah Kerney, who was Tom's guest back in April of this year, returns to Midday's Studio A to discuss the Office of Recovery Programs' continuing work, and to give us an update on how the ARPA funds are being allocated.Email us at midday@wypr.org, tweet us: @MiddayWYPR, or call us at 410-662-8780.

Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott joins Tom to discuss the nomination of Interim Police Chief Richard Worley to be the permanent chief of the BPD. He opted against a national search, instead tapping a local cop with more than two decades of experience in the department. Worley was candid about the failings of the agency in preventing the horrific shooting at the Brooklyn Homes earlier this month. We ask the Mayor what his administration considers the lessons learned. In the second half of our show, we are hosting a Community Conversation to get your take on the state of our city.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A year ago, a squeegee worker shot and killed Timothy Reynolds, a motorist from Hampden, after an altercation near the inner harbor in downtown Baltimore. Reynolds is alleged to have confronted a group of squeegee workers with a baseball bat before he was shot, The trial of the alleged assailant, who was a day away from his 15th birthday at the time of the incident, began yesterday. A jury was seated and opening statements were scheduled for today. Following the murder of Reynolds, Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott asked community leaders from government, business and the nonprofit sector to work with young people who squeegee to form the Squeegee Collaborative, to develop a comprehensive strategy to create alternatives to squeegeeing. We are joined by three people behind the collaborative. Joe Jones, the founder of the Center for Urban Families, joins us. He served as a co-chair of the Squeegee Collaborative. Faith Leach now serves as the City's Chief Administrative Officer. At the time of the formation of the Collaborative, she was served as the Deputy Mayor of Equity, Health, and Human Services, and she was a key player in the city's response to the squeegee issue. Dr. Andrey Bundley is the director of the Mayor's Office of African American Male Engagement, the city agency charged with overseeing the squeegee initiative.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Baltimore is one of a dozen cities across the country that have re-instated youth curfews as a strategy to reduce crime. As the city discovered two weeks ago at the Brooklyn Homes, enforcing curfews is no easy matter. In what is likely the worst mass shooting in the city's history at a crowded block party, 11 girls and 9 boys under the age of 18 were injured. 18-year-old Aaliyah Gonzales was killed, as was 20-year-old Kylis Fagbemi. A few months ago, following a shooting at the Inner Harbor, Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott announced his intention to enforce curfew laws that have long been on the books, but ignored. On June 29, a few days before the shooting in Brooklyn, Lakeidra Chavis and the Marshall Project published an article that surveyed curfew policies around the country, with a focus on the nascent stages of the initiative here in Baltimore. The Baltimore Banner, our news partner, published that reporting on its website as well. Lakeidra Chavis, a staff writer for the Marshall Project, joins Midday for an update.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Last week, when Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott appeared on our show, he touted a 17% decrease in violent crime in our city compared to last year. In fact, as of today, the 120 homicides recorded in Baltimore so far this year is 25 fewer than the 145 recorded at this time last year. That's a 17% reduction. 21 fewer nonfatal shootings have occurred this year compared to last year, too. But as the Mayor and other city leaders are quick to point out, the animating force behind the Group Violence Reduction Strategy, or GVRS, is the effort to address the root causes of the violence that has plagued our city for decades: poverty, unstable housing, lack of job opportunities and a street culture in which arguments escalate into violent retribution instead of conflicts being resolved peacefully. Kurt Palermo, the head of violence interrupter organization Roca, and Nick Wilson, the Senior Director of Gun Violence Prevention at the Center for American Progress join Tom for another episode in Midday's series of conversations about efforts to turn the tide of violence in Baltimore.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Now, Tom is joined by Shamiah T. Kerney, the Chief Recovery Officer in the Mayor's Office of Recovery Programs, an office set-up by Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott to oversee the distribution of the $641 million dollars of funds allocated for the city from the 2021 American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). President Biden signed the ARPA measure into law in March of 2021, with the aim of assisting communities across the nation in their ongoing recovery from the dislocations caused by the COVID pandemic. The city's Office of Recovery Programs was established in July of that year. The first announcements about which agencies and organizations would be receiving the funds were made in the fall.

Today, we begin with a conversation about the violence interruption program Safe Streets. It's a central fixture of the Group Violence Reduction Strategy that Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott has implemented to reduce violence in our city. Safe Streets has operated in some areas for 15 years, providing credible counselors, known to their communities, who help diffuse tense situations and help people resolve conflicts peacefully. Last week, the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health Center for Gun Violence Solutions released a report assessing the effectiveness of Safe Streets. It concludes “that there is evidence that Safe Streets has yielded important reductions in homicides and nonfatal shootings.” Dr. Daniel Webster, a distinguished research scholar at the Center for Gun Violence Solutions. is the lead author of the report, called Estimating the Effects of Safe Streets Baltimore on Gun Violence.  Professor Daniel Webster join us on Zoom.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tom's Midday Newsmaker guest today is Faith Leach. She has served in Baltimore City government as the Deputy Mayor of Equity, Health and Human Services since April, 2021. In that role, she worked on programs for squeegee workers and she oversaw the implementation of a pilot program to provide some young mothers with a guaranteed monthly income, among other initiatives. Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott has now tapped Ms. Leach to be the next City Administrator. Scott championed the creation of the administrator position while running for Mayor in 2020, saying there was a need to “professionalize” city government with a non-political manager who runs the day to day operations of the city. Voters approved the creation of the position by referendum. The position may have been envisioned as non-political, but politics were very much on display during Ms. Leach's confirmation hearings. Last Thursday, after praising her job performance as Deputy Mayor and commending her for her responsiveness and competence, the Rules and Legislative Oversight Committee of the City Council, chaired by Councilman Yitzy Schlieffer, promptly voted against her confirmation. One of the members of the committee, Councilwoman Sharon Green Middleton told Ms. Leach, “This isn't about you.” You may ask, if a confirmation hearing isn't about the nominee, then who, or what, is it about? Perhaps the Council, in their wisdom, will answer that question at some point. But after a weekend of reported arm twisting, the committee re-convened on Monday and reversed itself, approving the nomination of Ms. Leach. A vote of approval by the full Council followed that evening. As Baltimore's City Administrator, Ms. Leach will reportedly be paid just under $200,000 a year, making her one of the city's highest paid officials. She replaces Christopher Shorter, who left the city for a job in Virginia after less than two years as Baltimore's first City Administrator. Faith Leach joins us on Zoom from City Hall.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We begin Midday today with an update on Baltimore City politics.... Last week, Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott's nomination of Faith Leach to be the next Baltimore City Administrator was rejected by a City Council Committee in a contentious meeting at City Hall. Yesterday, the committee reversed itself and moved Ms. Leach's nomination forward. Emily Sullivan, who covers Baltimore city government for WYPR's news partner organization, The Baltimore Banner, joins Tom in Studio A with details.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's Midday with the Mayor.  As he does each month*, Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott joins Tom Hall for an unrehearsed conversation about key issues on the city's agenda. Top officials in the city are at loggerheads about a deal that the Scott Administration negotiated with BGE to manage the city's elaborate, 741-mile underground conduit system, which houses electric and fiber optic cables for BGE and other companies. The draft agreement was first reported in January by the Baltimore Brew. After we hear from the Mayor today, we'll hear from the other two city-wide elected officials in Baltimore: Comptroller Bill Henry and Council President Nick Mosby, both of whom oppose the deal. On Wednesday, March 1, the Board of Estimates was scheduled to vote for the second time on the deal, but that vote has been delayed until April 5th. The Board of Estimates voted to approve the deal on February 15. The Comptroller and Council President skipped that meeting, thinking their absence would leave the board without a quorum. But the remaining three members of the board, the Mayor and his two appointees, voted without the two opposing members. Henry and Mosby assert that that vote is not valid because they did not participate. City Solicitor Ebony Thompson, one of the people voting for the measure, declared in a legal opinion that the vote was, in fact, valid. The Mayor, the Council President and the Comptroller disagree about several aspects of this deal. We talk with each of them today. (Tom's interviews with the City Comptroller and City Council president are combined in a separate Web post/podcast). And we start with Mayor Brandon Scott, who joins us on Zoom during a break in his visit to Northwood Elementary School, the Baltimore City public school on Loch Raven Boulevard. *Scheduling conflicts prevented the Mayor from joining Midday in February.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Do Kids' Lives Matter? Does Education Matter? Baltimore City Public Schools is facing a Crisis In Education, but who's standing up for the next generation? Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott has said he's in full support of BCPSS CEO Dr. Sonja Santelises. Since 2016, overall student performance has declined, student population has declined, while salaries have increased. Dr. Santelises has a compensation package upwards of $400K/year while Baltimore City schools rank at the bottom in quality of education. #Baltimore #education #mcap #projectbaltimore #testscore #popandpolitics #metroconservativemedia #schools

Baltimore and surrounding jurisdictions face many challenges that are best addressed from a regional, rather than a local perspective. Yesterday, for example, Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott and Baltimore County Executive Johnny Olszewski held a press conference with members of the Maryland General Assembly to announce the creation of a task force to study how to modernize the governance of the water and wastewater facilities, which serve both jurisdictions. Scott and Olszewski, along with other elected officials from the Baltimore metro area, are part of the Baltimore Metropolitan Council, an organization that encourages cooperation between jurisdictions to promote economic vitality and quality of life for the region. Transportation is one of those issues that cries out for regional coordination and cooperation. The BMC has just released a report that studied how best to organize the governance and funding for regional transit. Maryland Del. Tony Bridges, who represents District 41 in Baltimore City, chaired the workgroup that developed five recommendations for transit that we're going to talk about today. Tom spoke with Del. Bridges on Tuesday about those recommendations, and we begin today with their recorded conversation. Joining Tom in Studio A is the executive director of the Baltimore Metropolitan Council, Mike Kelly… Also with us in studio is Mark Anthony Thomas, the president and CEO of the Greater Baltimore Committee…See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today, another installment of our monthly Midday with the Mayor,  in which Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott joins Tom to take questions on key issues facing the mayor, the city and the people of Baltimore. There were 40 fewer non-fatal shootings in our city last year than in 2021, but only four fewer homicides. More than 70 people in the Western district received help with housing, employment and other services through the Mayor's Office of Neighborhood Safety and Engagement, and that district became safer. The city plans to expand its Group Violence Reduction Strategy to the Southwestern district soon. Late Friday afternoon, the Baltimore Office of Promotion and the Arts issued a press release implicating the Mayor's office in the decision to cancel the annual Martin Luther King Day parade. That was followed by a letter to the BOPA board from Mayor Brandon Scott demanding that the director of BOPA, Donna Drew Sawyer, resign. Following reports that she had resigned, the BOPA board issued a statement saying that she had not resigned. The Mayor Tweeted that the MLK Day Parade will take place at noon on January 16.

Yesterday, the Baltimore Banner reported that the teenager currently charged as an adult with first degree murder in the killing of Timothy Reynolds would be offered a deal to plead guilty to manslaughter, and have his case transferred to juvenile court. A judge must approve the deal. A hearing is scheduled for Thursday. Mr. Reynolds was wielding a bat during an interaction with some squeegee workers in July near the Inner Harbor, which ended with his murder. Following that tragic incident, Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott convened a group of business leaders, city officials, health care workers and young people who squeegee to develop recommendations as to how to move those who squeegee off city streets and into alternatives. The group is called the Squeegee Collaborative, and they have released an action plan that Tom discusses today with two of the co-chairs of the Collaborative. Joe Jones is the founder and CEO of the Center for Urban Families… John Brothers is the President of the T Rowe Price Foundation… They join Tom in Studio A. The Collaborative's recommendations, like many that have been suggested in the past, are designed to create alternative opportunities for squeegee workers. A little later in the program, we hear from Donte Johnson, the general manager of the Revival Hotel, recently rated by Fodor's as one of the 21 best hotels in the United States. Johnson, as part of his "squeegee diversion program," has hired several squeegee workers to offer them training in the hospitality industry. Donte Johnson joins us on Zoom.

Today, a conversation about problems with Baltimore's water system. Aging infrastructure, ineffective accounting and billing, and high costs to rate-payers are just some of the challenges facing the City's Department of Public Works (DPW). Two weeks ago, problems got worse. The Maryland Secretary of the Environment, Ben Grumbles, ordered that the authority over the operations of the Back River wastewater treatment plantbe taken away from the city, and transferred to the state. Late last month, state inspectors found that the Back River plant was discharging polluted water in violation of the Clean Water Act. Their scathing report on the plant cited "the precipitous decline of the functioning of several critical processes at the Plant in comparison with prior inspections.” Yesterday, when Tom asked Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott about why problems at the city-owned Back River and Patapsco wastewater treatment plants hadn't been addressed, the mayor noted that the problems pre-date his administration: "We know the Back River and Patapsco wastewater issues in Baltimore, the issues have been there you know they don't just predate my administration but the administration that came before me and the one that came before that, and the one that came before that.  We are committed to working with MDE and MES to get this facility into compliance.  I actually personally met with the secretary right before this decision was made, and said that we want to continue to work with them. But we know this is not an overnight fix. We're going to work collaboratively with them to combine resources to ensure that we're being good stewards of this service, right? And making sure that we are supporting our Chesapeake Bay. We know that there are supply-chain issues and staffing shortages that have made getting Back River...into compliance difficult."  — Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott, speaking with Tom Hall here on Midday, yesterday. We think it's important to know what's going on at these wastewater facilities, why these alleged violations of the Clean Water Act are serious, and what the city is going to have to do to solve these longstanding problems. To help us understand, Tom invited two environmental advocates to join us for part of the hour today. Alice Volpitta of Blue Water Baltimore is the Baltimore Water Keeper. Blue Water Baltimore is part of the lawsuits that are currently in the courts…Angela Haren is a Senior Attorney at the Chesapeake Legal Alliance.

Today on Midday, a conversation about the violence that persists on our city's streets, and what can be done about it. Last week, four children were injured when gun fire erupted in a largely blighted block of North Milton Avenue in the Broadway East neighborhood. One girl was 17, two girls were 14 year old twins. The other victim was a 12 year old boy. They were among the more than 500 people who have been injured in shootings in our city so far this year. Two hundred forty-five people have been killed in our city. Over the summer, Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott published his Comprehensive Violence Prevention Plan, the product of community meetings and an multi agency approach that treats violence as a public health issue, and seeks to engage the community in addressing it. As I mentioned at the top of the show, the Mayor is convening his Group Violence Reduction Strategy partners for the first time this afternoon.At the heart of these efforts is a push for prevention. Programs that employ Violence Interrupters — groups like Safe Streetsand Roca — will be expanded. Other, similar community based programs will be developed. Funding will be increased. What do we know about the efficacy of these programs? When a Safe Streets outreach worker intervenes in a dispute and turns people who are arguing about something away from violent resolution of the conflict, is that something that can be tracked and quantified easily? It's hard to collect data on events that haven't happened. Today on Midday, a discussion about the effectiveness of violence interruption programs. Tom is joined by three people who collect data about this and study the issue from different perspectives. Dr. Jeffrey Butts is a Research Professor and the Director of the Research and Evaluation Center at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York. He joins us on Zoom… Amos Gelb is the director of the Washington Media Institute, and the publisher of Baltimore Witnessand DC Witness, organizations that track those accused of violent crimes through the judicial system. He joins us on Zoom as well… And LaTrina Antoine. She is the editor-in-chief of Baltimore Witness and DC Witness, and focuses on data and the reporting that her staff does about violence and the court system. She also joins us on Zoom… See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In a series of three press events on Friday, Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott unveiled his Comprehensive Violence Prevention Plan, which seeks to re-position violent crime as a public health epidemic, along with the health problems of COVID-19 and opioid overdose deaths. It is organized around three pillars: a public health approach to violence, engaging the community and coordinating efforts of many city agencies, and accountability. Scott has long contended that the strategies of the past, which he characterizes as having relied on policing, prosecution and prisons, have failed, and that the intractable levels of violence the city has experienced for many years can only be reduced if public safety is re-imagined. Scott's ambitious goal is to reduce homicides and non-fatal shootings by 15% every year for the next five years. Mayor Scott's strategy includes expanding investment in community violence intervention programs. These programs engage violence interrupters, often people who themselves have been incarcerated, to concentrate primarily on preventing conflicts between individuals from spiraling into violence. Outreach workers for groups like Safe Streets and Roca identify people who may be at risk, or who may be inclined to commit acts of violence. The work is tricky and dangerous. This year, among the 193 people who have been victims of homicide in our city, two have been Safe Streets outreach workers: Dante Barksdale was murdered in January, and Kenyell Wilson was killed earlier this month. Currently, there are 10 Safe Streets sites and 7 hospital-based partnerships. Roca has also been active for the past few years. Mayor Scott's plan calls for those programs to be evaluated, and adding perhaps as many as 20 more sites. The Mayor and some members of Maryland's congressional delegation spent the day Friday touring the city to introduce the new Violence Prevention Plan. The plan is distinct from the crime plan that was developed a couple of years ago by the Baltimore City Police Department. The Mayor characterizes that plan as a subplan of his strategy, which calls on a variety of city agencies to coordinate with federal and state officials to address the epidemic of violence, along with addressing the continuing problems the continuing problems of the COVID pandemic and opioid addiction. Tom's first guests today are Rashad Singletary, the Associate Director of Gun Violence Prevention in the Mayor's Office of Neighborhood Safety and Engagement (MONSE), the office charged with implementing the Crime Prevention plan; and Dante Johnson, the site director for Safe Streets in Belair-Edison, a neighborhood in Northeast Baltimore. They join us on Zoom. Then Tom speaks via Zoom with the Director of MONSE, Shantay Jackson, who discusses the city's overall strategy for carrying out the new Violence Prevention Plan.

Last week, Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott vetoed a controversial bill that would have allowed renters a couple of alternatives to paying lump-sum security deposits. One alternative, supported by most housing advocates, would have allowed renters to pay the security deposits in installments. Another provision of the bill would have allowed renters to purchase “surety bonds” that would place liability in the hands of a company who would in turn be able to bill renters directly. This provision is the one that prompted the Mayoral veto and staunch opposition to the bill from a large coalition of housing and social justice advocates.If the veto is sustained, what options would be better for renters and landlords? If security deposits are as barrier to finding quality housing, how can that barrier be overcome? Today on Midday, Tom talks with two lawmakers, a housing advocate and a reporter about this issue, and we’ll take your calls and comments. We invited the sponsor of the bill, Councilwoman Sharon Green Middleton, who said she could not appear due to a schedule conflict, as well as officials with the MD Multi Housing Association, which represents landlords. They declined to appear as well. We begin with Baltimore City Councilman Zeke Cohen. He represents the first district. He and Councilman Ryan Dorsey voted against the legislation, which passed the Council by a margin of 12-2, with one abstention. Then we hear the perspective of Tisha Guthrie, a housing advocate who was part of the coalition of groups opposed to the bill that Mayor Scott vetoed. Guthrie is the treasurer of the Bolton House Residents Association, a building that overlooks the State Center complex in midtown. Tisha Guthrie is also part of Baltimore Renters United, the group that coordinated the public opposition to the bill that passed in the City Council 12-2, with the firm support of both the President and Vice President of the City Council, Nick Mosby and Sharon Green Middleton. Next, Tom turns to another member of the Baltimore City Council, John Bullock, who represents the 9th District. And in our final segment, Tom talks with Fern Shen, the founder and editor of the Baltimore Brew.She’s been covering this story closely.WYPR’s housing reporter Sarah Y. Kim has also been following this story, and you can find her coverage here. All our guests today join us on Zoom. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A central tenet of Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott’s approach to crime reduction in our city is the certainty that the traditional strategies that Baltimore has employed for decades have come up short, and that public safety must be re-imagined if the levels of violent crime are to be brought down. Murders and non-fatal shootings have for so long been a part of the landscape of certain neighborhoods. Scott’s vision for a safer city is tied to his vision for a more equitable, more inclusive, and more trauma-informed city, as well. Tom's guest today has been charged by the Mayor to gather community input and implement the Mayor’s vision for a safer city. Last December, Shantay Jackson was appointed to be the head of a new agency established by Mayor Scott, the Mayor’s Office of Neighborhood Safety and Engagement. A lifelong Baltimorean, Shantay Jackson has experience in the private and public sector, with community groups and conflict mediation and resolution.The word “engagement” is in the name of her office, and we invite you to engage with Shantay Jackson here on Midday. What do you think we should be doing as a matter of public policy and individual responsibility to stem the tide of violence that has been particularly acute over the last several years? Shantay Jackson joins us on our digital line. And we welcome your questions and comments. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of By Any Means Necessary, host Jacquie Luqman is joined by producer Wyatt Reed for an update on the crisis in Colombia, why slain activist Lucas Villa has emerged as a symbol of resistance there, and how the regime's mishandling of the Covid pandemic is playing into the widespread unrest.In the second segment, Jacquie is joined by Dr. Jack Rasmus, economist, radio show host, & author of 'The Scourge of Neoliberalism,' to discuss his new article in Counterpunch, “US First Quarter GDP: Recovery or Just Another Rebound,” why the 6.4% growth rate being widely reported is so misleading, and why the real rate of growth in the first quarter is actually below average.In the third segment, Jacquie is joined by Lisa Snowden-McCray, Managing Editor at The Real News Network, to discuss the move by supposedly-progressive Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott to increase the budget of the city's police department, and why an increasing number of Baltimore residents support defunding the police.Later in the show, Jacquie is joined by Jon Jeter, award-winning journalist and foreign correspondent, radio and television producer, Bluesologist and Decolonizer, and author of the book “Flat Broke in the Free Market: How Globalization Fleeced Working People” to discuss the vote to oust Liz Cheney from House GOP leadership and how the capitulation of the GOP to the Trump wing of the party compares to how the Democrats respond to their progressive wing; the shame of corporate media and Democrats being less honest about Liz Cheney than Donald Trump is; the importance of the struggle against international settler-colonial conspiracy in Brazil, Colombia, Palestine, and the US; and the inaccurate and dangerous language used by US politicians to describe the illegal occupation and ethnic cleansing Israel commits against Palestinians that frame the victims as somehow responsible for their oppression.
