(WBFF) — Baltimore residents in Federal Hill say Mayor Brandon Scott owes them answers after revelations that his new city-issued SUV cost taxpayers $163,495 – including nearly $65,000 in upgrades including police lights, sirens and a security microphone.

“Not the taxpayers’ money! If he wants it for himself, yeah. But not with our money,” said Christian Heath as she was celebrating her birthday with friends in Federal Hill Park. She didn’t know about the mayor’s luxury Jeep Grand Wagoneer until speaking with Spotlight on Maryland.

“Our money should be for the city, the schools, the kids. Just to ride around? We don’t have cars like that,” Heath said, as her friends nodded in agreement.

City Councilman Zac Blanchard, who represents the Federal Hill area, defended the purchase in a statement: “I think buying a nicer SUV with relevant safety and communications enhancements twice a decade is pretty reasonable for a large city’s top elected official.”

A Waukesha County judge has ordered the Wisconsin Elections Commission to verify the citizenship of all registered voters.

The verification process for 3.6 million voters must be completed before the February 18 statewide primary election.

The decision is a victory for conservatives who have raised concerns about noncitizens potentially being on voter rolls.
