The Glover Report: Countdown to September 13th: Why so many black candidates for Mayor of Baltimore? Who backs out first? Why were they even in the race from “jump street”?:
Why In the world would anybody want to Mayor of Baltimore – given its complexities, its plethora of challenges, its historical tendencies and idiosyncrasies?
I asked Martin O’Malley that one day at City College during a procurement fair put on by the City for small and minority-owned businesses. At the time, he was Mayor. I told him it was a thankless job. He disagreed.
My logic: Given the deck of cards, you’re just not going to be able to please everybody all of the time.
At the same time, however, I “do” think that everybody ought to get some satisfaction at least some of the time.
Despite the negative stigma brushed on Baltimore by HBO’s “The Wire”, despite the murderous and drug-related tendencies of so many who have simply lost their way – including the cats with the boats and the planes and the Wall street connections, despite the litany of negative socio-economic factors that has tens of thousands living below the poverty level in the worst of health – any day in Baltimore is still a good day! Plus, we have some of the best water in the nation - except in our schools!

The Glover Report: The Chicanery at Baltimore City Public School Headquarters Just Doesn’t Stop!:
Today’s Sunpaper article on the Baltimore City Public School System is empirical enough for me. After all, they say, ‘If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and acts like a duck – it must be a duck!’
After reading the piece on the disgraceful and disrespectful effort to have teachers humiliatingly re-apply for their jobs, I found myself utterly disgusted at how Alonso is treating veteran teachers who have given their lives, their hearts, and their souls to academically serving our children.
I think back to the many teachers in the city who inspired me: Dorothy Dixon; Frances Parks; Mrs. Nottingham; Mr. Williams; Joyce Hamer; Hilda Brown; Catherine Orange; Mrs. Hall; Julia B. Woodland; Dr. Elzee Gladden. To say the least, I cannot stand by as people who are as alien to us as – well, a UFO – annihilate the people we have come to know as teachers, educators, principals.
