FILE - In this June 8, 2018 file photo, Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh addresses a gathering during the annual meeting of the U.S. Conference of Mayors in Boston.When Bernard “Jack” Young automatically became Baltimore’s acting mayor on April 1, he emphasized that he’d act only as a “placeholder” for the embattled elected mayor.
Mayor Catherine Pugh’s spokesman, James Bentley, said he has no immediate comment. Pugh’s defense attorney, Steve Silverman, did not immediately return calls. Pugh said she was going on leave on the same day Maryland’s governor asked for a criminal investigation of the lucrative sales of her “Healthy Holly” books to customers, including a major hospital network she once helped oversee as a state lawmaker and a health plan that does business with the city.
Members of Pugh’s communications staff have said repeatedly that she intends to return to City Hall when she is feeling better, but have declined to provide any timetable.
Another corrupt mayor
looks like gayle
A scandal about a $100,000 purchase of children's books authored by the mayor results in action taken to protect the city, its people & its money. Great. Now do trump.. Protect our Country. Protect us. Protect our money. Protect our values. Before there's nothing left to guard.
..another Democrat-controlled city..
AoDespair I can totally picture Lester and Prez walking the FBI through this... thewire
Why is it always 'paid leave'? Make it retroactive if she's found blameless. Two homes? I'd say she'll be fine
What took so long ?
Hey by the way if you don't go down to the very bottom of the article she is a DemocRat.
'Paid leave'? Go figure, because they sure have....GoodGrief
scandal over book sales...but mum over trump arm sales to saudis and corruption with his DC hotel and taxes and russian loans and on an on
Law enforcement is tough on everyone except DerangedDonald in the WH. Oh, and his family, sporting security clearances, putting the entire nation at risk.
She needs to be locked up if they find anything. Politics need to weed out corruption
I call BS. The governor never wanted her to be mayor so he sends his goons to raid her homes. They found nothing noteworthy and no one was arrested. No indictment. Nothing. This is how you do a smear campaign.
Fucking Republicans
another sewer-dwelling demonrat bites the dust
What’s the difference between paid leave and paid vacation?
All about the benjamins. She is that smart but you really don't have to be smart to be Mayor just get enough votes
Greed has no party line.
Democrat corruption
Politically motivated
Another crooked Democrat
Haha damn Socialist Capitalist
Damn, seriously, u don't think ur going to be watched, ur every move, don't u know the Walmart story, while the camera is rolling on Blacks as soon as they go in the store, others are doing the stealing, come on Mayor Pugh, think.
Not sure I understand... the President can shred the law & do whatever he wants but a black Mayor can’t. America... are you officially accepting two sets of laws... one for the wealthy & privileged & one for everyone else? This duality is the outcome America must now reconcile
Sounds like Trumps FBI is trying to divert attention from the crimes of fearless leader
The mayor has two homes? *shocker*
Corrupt Democrats. 2020...
Seems she hasn't watched The wire
Mayor. 2 homes. Next.
How many corrupt democratic mayors is that in a row Baltimore? Three now?
Dems like senile RepCummings ilhanMN must Move on or Move off by fighting filth among their ranks & leave RealDonaldTrump alone
Seems many govt officials who want to tax Americans to death do not want to pay their own taxes ... shocked ... shocked i say
Most, if not all, democrat led cities are corrupt as F.
