They also won’t spend their money here. Therefor they’re simply extracting money from the city to spend and get taxed in the county of their choosing so that way, their kids get to go to a good school.

Remember this when you vote people.

Whats the solution to this? We are already paying these big bonuses and still cant get locals to be cops.

Locals don't want to be cops cuz they know the police are corrupt AF. There is no bandaid fix when what's needed is abolishing the BPD and rechartering with local neighborhood pds accountable to their constituents.

Right now, BPD is run by the state of Maryland. Vote yes on Question H in the midterms, to bring control back to the city.

Problem is this implies the city government is any more interested in serving the people, which is, uh, another problem.
