I actually hadn't heard anything about this until 5 minutes ago. I was sort of out of the loop for a couple of weeks over Christmas.

Sheila Dixon is and always has been a piece of trash. I think the worst thing O'Malley did during his career (both as Mayor and now as Governor) was to leave with her in a position to assume the Mayoralty.

Honestly, O'Malley doesn't strike me as the type. He bows to political expediency as much as anybody, but I haven't heard any suggestions that he's corrupt in that sense (and would be quite surprised to find out that he was).

Murders in Baltimore are a force of nature. Trying to do something about them is like trying to stop a hurricane.

Even if so, its neighbor 40 miles south was experiencing rapid declines in murder during this period.

Murder is not very well understood, it's true. But I often ask myself whether the uniform decrease in murders under the incorruptible Mayor Williams is a coincidence.
