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.
