Yep. Good connection to push. Also, if you recall, Pelosi's father was Baltimore mayor in the 50's.

Baltimore, MD (May 2, 2019)—Today, Congressman Elijah E. Cummings (MD-07) issued the following statement on the resignation of Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh:

“I wish Mayor Pugh the best as she continues to restore her health. No one ever questioned her passion for Baltimore City and its citizens, and I commend her for making this decision to put our City first.

As has previously been reported in NPQ and extensively covered in the Baltimore Sun, among other news sources, Baltimore’s Mayor Catherine Pugh (D) has been under scrutiny for her apparent self-dealing with partners engaged in business with Baltimore, as well as the state of Maryland. These deals related to sales of a children’s book, Healthy Holly, written by Pugh, and sold to various entities, including the University of Maryland Medical System and Kaiser Permanente, to the tune of $800,000.

 

In any case, Pugh’s resignation amidst scandal is disappointing, but not surprising, considering the city’s history. The region has a deep history of corruption among its public officials and the Baltimore City Police Force.

 

It is fair to say that Pugh made mistakes, and perhaps resignation was really the only alternative in response to public outcry. But what about the companies that took part in these pay-for-play schemes? How should they atone for their own willingness to engage in corrupt practices? In addition to this concern, and as has been reported in NPQ previously, there were several other members of the Board of University of Maryland Medical System that engaged in self-dealing.
