Baltimore businesses threaten to stop paying taxes

CFP: This weekend, the Baltimore Police Department closed down multiple city streets around the Inner Harbor, in a stretch called Fells Point, after dozens of local businesses threatened not to pay taxes because they’re ‘fed up and frustrated’ with the rise in violence.

Last week, 37 restaurants and small businesses sent a letter to the mayor’s office.  This comes as State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby halted petty crime arrests during the scamdemic.

What’s happened in the historic bar strict is absolute mayhem at night, transformed into a dangerous area where violent and rowdy crowds have ruined the once pleasant atmosphere along with multiple shootings.

One of the concerned business owners is Bill Packo, who owns Barley’s Backyard and has been operating in Fells Point for three decades —  “It’s a shame. What they’re letting happen to Fells Point is what they let happen in the Inner Harbor, and now it has made its way here. There’s alcohol being sold by individuals out there, drugs, and clearly we all know about the shootings that took place last weekend. But there needs to be some control out there. There is none whatsoever.” more

  1. I live near the shithole, and haven’t been to the shithole for years. I would turn down a free Ravens ticket. The idiots that live there and keep voting the morons in that run the shithole deserve exactly what they get. Feel sorry for the business owners though. I used to go down to Fells Point quite a bit.

  2. Best bet is to sue collectively.

    There are ways to legally withhold funds for services not rendered. (Canuckistan)
    If they send their taxes to a lawyer who holds the funds in Trust/custody, with notification to the tax dept. & Court until the city does their jobs they should be fine. (possibly)

    Not Paying is illegal, but placing the funds in a third party who will clearly pay could show a judge that they have no intention to avoid their legal obligations.

    Also, Vote the cocksuckers out!

  3. This should spread on a federal level.

    Truer words were never said Billy Fuster, but it’s even worse at the federal level because people in fiscally responsible states wind up paying for all the shit-holes everywhere more and more every year in this Damn democRAT Death Spiral!! Better to shut off the spigot before the whole damn thing collapses under the weight of absolute incompetence!

  4. The politicians just need to explain to the business owners that our biggest threat is Global Warming! No, wait, the biggest threat is White Supremacists! Yeah, that’s the ticket!

  5. Baltimore was a shithole thirty years ago. I trucked up and down the east coast for years and Baltimore was the only city I had problems with the negroes. Thirty years ago!!

  6. Sounds like a great plan for all of America but I have doubts the the left will get the message. For messages to mean something you have to have a functioning brain, else it’s like talking to a feral cat.

  7. Mosby says these low-level crimes “have nothing to do with public safety”. They have EVERYTHING to do with public safety, you dumb ass. Unaddressed low-level crime is the gateway drug to major crimes.

  8. I know dems in Baltimore–wealthy, Jewish, rabid, gated community dems. They cannot find fault with anything done by their party, ever. They are absolutely orgasmic at the prospect of the evil, fascist Trump going to prison while Joe and K-ho usher in a new progressive utopia. Social justice and equity for all!
    They are the proverbial frogs sitting in the stew pot of ever-warming water.
