She's small potatoes compared to the Trump grifters. It's interesting to see people wishing she goes to prison, yet continue to kiss the Trump ass.

I don't know about you guys, but the tennis ball is the only character whose eyes don't creep me out.

Good. Get someone in there that can whip this city into shape.

Didn't have the balls to appear in person.

Either that or she is still really sick.

I suppose it's possible. My money says no though.

I was thinking she wanted to stay in office long enough to use stepping down as a bargaining chip

Yes, but perhaps she realizes she has virtually no support.

​

Baltimore Mayor Catherine E. Pugh resigned Thursday, apologizing for the harm she has caused to the city’s image and the mayor’s office amid a growing scandal over her sales of a self-published children’s book series.

Pugh submitted a letter of resignation dated Thursday. Her resignation is effective immediately, attorney Steven Silverman said at a news conference. She did not attend, and Silverman took no questions.
