This evening’s (i.e., April 17, 2024) mayoral debate held at Morgan State University’s Murphy Fine Arts Center was outstanding. In attendance was former Mayor Shelia Dixon, Mayor Brandon Scott, former prosecutor Thiru Vignarajah and businessman Bob Wallace.
There were four (4) persons on that stage and from each you got the feeling of love for Baltimore. For heartfelt passion, that passion that comes from the gut, I would go with Bob Wallace and Thiru Vignarajah. This is in addition to their knowledge of the issues which face Baltimore and their plans of action to address them. And there were some good ones articulated.
I was very impressed with Mayor Scott, how he handled himself (except calling folks liars. He seems to use that word quite often), his accomplishments and his plans for the future. Former Mayor Dixon presented some ideas from her time as mayor. My ranking of performance: Mayor Brandon Scott and Bob Wallace tied for first place with Thiru Vignarajah coming in at a close second.
Again, great debate from some extraordinary individuals who want the best for our City of Baltimore.
