TGR: What is the Future of City Hall?:
To the City’s credit, many people have worked long and hard to help shovel Baltimore out of the Blizzard of the Century. At the same time, many citizens share a frustration beyond recompense. Many people I’ve talked to feel a certain insensitivity coming out of City Hall.
I’m curious to know how all this will play out – especially given that this is a statewide election year where there are still rumblings of a Wayne Curry (D) and Robert Ehrlich (R) challenge against incumbent Gov. Martin O’Malley. I’m particularly wondering how the new Baltimore City Council President, Bernard “Jack” Young, and the new Mayor, Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, will get along.
TGR: Thank You for Supporting BMORENEWS.com:
I just wanted to take a minute - in the midst of all of this snow - to thank you, the reader/visitor - for visiting our website, www.bmorenews.com. Last month, January, was record-breaking with over 871,000 hits and some 29,000 unique visitors. For us, this is incredibly worthy of celebration.
You come from - on average - some 80 different countries around the world. Hence - merci, gracias, kamsameeda - it all means 'Thank you.'
I am reporting to you from Prince George's County, the richest black jurisdiction in the country, which seems so appropo - considering that this is Black History Month.
For me, to grow BMORENEWS.com in Baltimore and expand to the District of Columbia and Prince George's County is simply a dream come true. After all, we view ourselves as "the little engine that could".
In the beginning, few understood - let alone believed - in our mission: to educate, inform, and inspire. So many times, I heard doubters louder than supporters. However, we stayed focused on the light. And so we shall remain.
Today, some say we are a force with which to be reckoned. Our forte is black business and black politics. In short, we try and keep it real. If a politician is not serving the black community, we make it known. If a black business is doing something worthy, like Visionary Marketing Group's big Minority Business Summit next Thursday and Friday, we celebrate it. Additionally, we believe that ex-offenders, housing, and health care are of the highest of priorities.
This will always be our focus, no doubt.
Keep watching BMORENEWS.com, the news before the news where we uncover the truth.
