Baltimore Mayor Scott moves to restart criminal justice council ahead of meeting with Maryland Gov. Hogan on violent crime

“If you’re not going to focus on violent crime in the city, then we don’t feel the need to fund it any longer,” Hogan said at the time. “We’re giving all the funding to the city of Baltimore, to the mayor’s office, so it can be spent to try to do something about violent crime, rather than spent for a lunch where people sit around and talk about other issues.”
