There's no handle, no odds, no Woodlawn Vase and no infield, but it's what I look forward to every year: calling WBAL's Fakeness Stakes - this year featuring competitors like Peter Franchot (saddled up on Beer And Beaches), former state senator Nathaniel Oaks (riding Votes For Sale) and former Baltimore police commissioner Darryl De Sousa (jockeying About Those Taxes).
Baltimore's top cop has resigned and many questions are rising because of it. Should the Mayor have fired Darryl De Sousa right away? Where does the city go from here?

On today's edition of the Midday News Wrap, we begin with Baltimore Brew founding editor and publisher, Fern Shen. This week, the Brew published a series documenting the ballooning problem of overtime abuse in the Baltimore police department.Then, Luke Broadwater of the Baltimore Sun and investigative reporter Alec MacGillis of ProPublica join Tom to review some of the week’s top local and national stories, from Police Commissioner-designate Darryl De Sousa’s confirmation hearing in the City Council, to the Governor and the Mayor of Baltimore taking a victory lap following hundreds of warrant arrests, and the national debate over gun regulation that’s been re-ignited by last week’s deadly mass shooting at a Florida high school.
Tom's guest today is the newly appointed chief of the Baltimore Police Department. Darryl De Sousa is the Commissioner-Designate. His confirmation hearing at the Baltimore City Council is slated for a week from today. Mr. De Sousa has been on the job for less than a month, but he’s been a member of the Baltimore Police Department for more than 30 years. Prior to his elevation to Commissioner, he served as the top commander in the patrol bureau. Mr. De Sousa takes the reins of the department as it is reeling from revelations that surfaced at the trial of two officers who were convicted Monday night on racketeering and fraud charges. Ironically, and much to everyone’s delight, for 12 consecutive days, as the trial was underway, Baltimore experienced no new homicides. Ericka Bridgeford, the founder of Baltimore Ceasefire, tells us that the city hasn’t gone that long without a homicide since 2014. The Baltimore Sun reported that an unidentified man was shot and killed in Belair Edison yesterday afternoon, in a district that the Commissioner Designate served as Commander years ago.Against this backdrop of a city still beset by crime, hopeful of a turnaround, and in urgent need of a police force it can trust, Darryl DeSousa joins Tom in Studio A.
