Has Brandon Scott done anything (negative OR positive) thus far?

I just don’t see any changes at all. I guess could be worse?

If the city was being run well prior to him taking office, making no changes would probably be a good thing. Unfortunately, we had the riots, the disastrous Healthy Holly/Jack Young era, the ransomware attack, and then COVID (he took office in December 2020). Baltimore needed someone with great management skills, vision, and a sense of urgency. Instead, we got Mayor Lackadaisical, and he created the city administrator position so he didn't have to be bothered with managing anything. We needed something a lot more than just not-being-a-thief.

I agree with alla that

At least he hasn’t been indicted tho (yet)

And expansion of govt is almost always a negative, unfortunately

I’m at a point with this city where not being corrupt would just be a cherry on top.

I need someone to fix the crime and poverty and education issue (it’s all one thing to me). If you can do that fuck it. Be corrupt. You earned it.
