AT: A lot of solid blue cities are getting raided by the FBI for corruption these days –Los Angeles, Taylor, Michigan, near Detroit, Chicago, the town of Harvey, Illinois, near Chicago, Edinburg, Texas… But none look quite so corrupt from top to bottom as Baltimore, whose mayor seems to be on the run from the long arm of the law (oh, wait, pneumonia) over a corrupt book deal, and now thieves are coming out of the woodwork like cockroaches. Here’s the Baltimore Sun’s description of the latest details:
The job training nonprofit raided Thursday by federal agents as part of an investigation into Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh is run by an executive director who was convicted of stealing $852,000 from a previous employer, court records show.
The Maryland Center for Adult Training, also known as MCAT, has received hundreds of thousands of dollars over the past decade from city, state and federal government agencies to provide training for men and women to become certified nurse assistants and medical technicians.
Since Pugh became mayor in December 2016, the city has awarded the organization $28,649 — mostly from a federal Department of Labor program and local casino money — to provide nurse training through last June. But MCAT’s approval to conduct that training expired in May, according to the Maryland Board of Nursing.
Almost like there’s a new sheriff or something.

One might start to suspect there was some corruption ‘obstruction’ happening in previous Administrations that are no longer in control of the investigators.
President Trump said “it’s almost like shooting rats down at the city dump” as he points his finger and goes: “Pugh, Pugh, Pugh, Pugh”
Here’s to the Texas FBI and DPS being ‘allowed’ to pursue Sheila Jackson Lee and her money shakers.
WHY COMMUNITIES CRUMBLE
1. There isn’t anyone smart enough to maintain infrastructure.
2. Money to support the community is stolen quicker than it’s handed out.
3. People who like infrastructure and not crime, move away.
…let me know when someone actually goes to jail…
