For the record, to date there has been no response from the BCPS or from Dr. Andres Alonso. For the record, I sent a request to the communications department for a response via video, radio, or print.

Mind you, this is all on camera. Check the tape.

Pardon my judgement, but something seems fundamentally wrong, especially when former Baltimore City Police Commissioner Kevin P. Clark was immediately ousted for an alleged domestic incident.

How come nobody is asking any questions about Dr. Alonso? He is charge of our children’s education. Need I say more? Prompt any questions from you?
 

The State of Maryland, professes to have the highest rate of college graduates, is the “Hub” for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math, yet, the majority of Black people, juveniles, are not being educated in this knowledge based society.

“Baltimore is a violent city” exclaims former Baltimore Police Chief Ed Norris. I cough loudly as some patrons at the Red Maple night club turn to locate who’s making the noise. Some 40 patrons are in good spirits at the first anniversary of Investigative Voices website (www.investigativevoices.com).

The site built by Regina Holmes and Steve Janus, former reporters for the Baltimore Examiner, has proven its muscle. They have broken stories and stayed on the case as it relates to crime and corruption in Baltimore.

But isn’t this city more than crime and corruption? Investigative Voices has tapped into the city angst and the suburban angst of Baltimore. We all knew it was there, they just gave voice to what we all knew.

“Yea, I agree Baltimore is a violent city, but I believe you should turn a negative into a positive,” says former Mayor Shelia Dixon.
