By Hoes Heights Action Committee (BALTIMORE – August 29, 2022) – Since the renovation of the beautiful and historic Roland Water Tower (RWT), there have been many meetings shepherded by the Roland Park Community Foundation and its committees to discuss potential design options to enhance the green space surrounding the renovated monument. Unfortunately, the process that led to the permanent road closure of the tower advocated for and now being sought for final design approval by agencies of the City of Baltimore including CHAP (Baltimore City Commission for Historical and Architectural Preservation) has not allowed for the voices of those most…

(DETROIT – August 7, 2022) – I have had the honor of being a guest of Doni Glover on BMORENEWS.COM since 2020 along with his winning team of guests that were seasoned warriors and experts in their fields.  I found out firsthand that Doni, an award-winning journalist, with his talent, imagination, and creativity, meticulously crafts and expertly engineers each show. That speaks volumes for a show that has been in existence for over twenty years. What came to my immediate attention was the positive tone of his show that still addressed the hard facts of reality.  In a masterful way, he…

(ANNAPOLIS – August 7, 2022) – Dear Doni, I last saw you at Maryland Live! Casino for an event for the Maryland Agricultural event last year. I don’t recall who you were sitting with at the time, but l stopped to say hello and reminded you that during the Ehrlich/O’Malley face-off, l initially was in the midst of challenging O’Malley in the primary before a life-threatening medical issue got in the way and l vacated that pursuit. I only point this out because you were the one person, the only person of standing, who showed me any respect by having…

(BALTIMORE – July 19, 2022) – One of the last few weeks’ most extensive discussions or questions was, “what do we do with the squeegee problem in Baltimore City? “The problem has been longstanding, and many Baltimore Mayors have had to tackle the squeegee kid problem. It was not until recently, with an altercation between a squeegee kid and a motorist, which turned deadly, that sparked a more intense level of conversation. Let us call squeegee activity what it is actually- panhandling by disguise. Everyone knows that the service provided is not necessarily needed because the car has the function…

This trend is surely part of what drives the resurgent Christian right, and it may well even be on the minds of the current conservative majority on the Supreme Court, five of whom are Catholics and one of whom was raised Catholic but attends an Episcopal church. With their brand of religious dogma losing its purchase, they’re imposing it on the country themselves.They target a vulnerable population. One atheist student on Kennedy’s team reported feeling coerced to participate. He described feeling “uncomfortable and unsafe” during a chaotic scene in which over 500 people stormed the field to join in Kennedy’s…

Gail Collins: Bret, we should talk a bit about the passing of Donald Trump’s first wife, Ivana. Any first thoughts?Bret Stephens: A sad moment. She represented immigrant striving, something her former husband should have learned to appreciate — but didn’t. Did you know her?Gail: No, my interactions with The Donald, as Ivana called him, didn’t begin until around the time of their divorce, when I was covering city government and he was trying to squeeze some deals out of the Council.However, I was working then for New York tabloids and I have very vivid memories of the huge headlines on…

NASHVILLE —Dear Liberals,I greet you from the Medieval stronghold of the American South, where things are every bit as bad as you’ve heard. They may be worse.Red-state legislators have perfected the art of voter suppression, which you probably know. They have also gerrymandered the South’s blue cities into political irrelevance, which you may not. These cities serve as their states’ economic engines: According to Mark Muro, the policy director of the Brookings Institution’s Metropolitan Policy Project, the counties Joe Biden won in 2020 account for 71 percent of U.S. gross domestic product. A bunch of those counties are in red…
